Bettercut + 2.1 Gallery shortcut = Force close loop?

So, I have the 2.1 update. I use Bettercut to make a shortcut to "Gallery" either through the app or by long pressing. If I click on my new gallery shortcut I get a force close loop requiring a battery pull.

I don't seem to have a problem with any other apps or shortcuts... and making shortcuts the regular way works just fine. I am thinking maybe Bettercut has an issue with the new gallery for 2.1?

(I thought it was Helix but it happens even on the default home.)
 
Try this:

Using the app drawer, drag the Gallery icon to the desktop to make a shortcut.
Then launch Bettercut, FROM THE APP DRAWER, and choose "Edit Shortcut".

Hope that works.

I'm still having the issue. I've tried it with and without Bettercut. If I go to my pictures via Astro I can see them there and flip through them that way with no problems. It appears to just be a problem with the main Gallery access screen and my phone not wanting to load that.
