Comment 6 for bug 183368

"Any ideas?"

Yes. The desktop files are fine and there is some very broken code somewhere else. I've spent a bit of time debugging it today and I"m rather puzzled at this point in time.

What I find interesting is I'm getting

** (awn-applet-activation:16721): WARNING **: No exec path found in desktop file /usr/local/lib/awn/applets/digitalClock.desktop

This is tested on or about line 137 of main.c in awn-applet-activation

for the python applets and it's exiting there.
