Ethereum Wallet 0.9.2 downloads geth 1.6.6 NOT 1.7.2, thus rolls back chain to block 4370000

Hi. Looks like the latest Ethereum Wallet v0.9.2 (at least on windows x64) will download for itself geth 1.6.6 (if there is no geth node already running). The 1.6.6 geth will then reset the chain data to block 4370000 (even though the chain is ahead having been run forward on geth 1.7.2). When geth 1.7.2 is then started on the command line, it resets the chain again to get onto the Byzantium branch.

I don't see a way to choose a geth version within the Ethereum Wallet v0.9.2.

Solution: release a new version of Ethereum Wallet that defaults to geth 1.7.2 and thus the byzantium release.

Thank you.
