    Tried double clicking the Quicksilver.app in your Applications folder or wherever you installed it?

    Umm, glad your problem is fixed, but when you double click on the Quicksilver.app, the Quicksilver window should open, and you can click on the little cog at the top right corner to edit every setting of the application.
