I think solution 1 is impractical. I don't think it is customary to 
execute special actions after some extension is uninstalled and I 
wouldn't want to introduce a dependency on an ext, even a sysext, 
especially for such a small issue.

Solution 2 is better, except that a blank page may look like a bug to 
the user. Instead we could show the user setup module, with a warning 
that the selected startup module is not available and that a different 
one should be selected. Making this a generic mechanism could be useful 
in case some extension is installed, chosen as a startup module and 
later uninstalled.

Cheers
