Fatal error if Genesis is not active

I tried this plugin and I forgot to activate a Genesis theme before enabling the plugin. The result was a fatal error, which completely crashed the backend (I had to rename the plugin’s folder via FTP to bring it back). I think this situation should be prevented by the plugin performing a check.
By the way, the error message was:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function genesis_get_option() in […]/wp-content/plugins/genesis-featured-content-widget/gs-featured-content-widget.php on line 88
