Bug Description
Symptom:
I installed gnome-do 0.8 and, using the dock, I could not summon menu applications. For example, <super>+space -> write 'tetravex' or 'gimp', no result.
Running gnome-do from the console showed that it has a problem with strange encodings:
gnome-do
Could not read Bibtex file: Could not find file "/home/
** (Do:16972): WARNING **: FindNextFile: Bad encoding for '/home/
Consider using MONO_EXTERNAL_
Do.Universe.
[Error 12:41:02.556] Encountered an error while attempting to index /home/fsilva/
[Error 12:41:02.589] Encountered an error while attempting to index /home/fsilva/
Could not read Bibtex file: Could not find file "/home/
I removed the file '/home/
a directory in my home that was owned by root. I removed the directory and now I can summon menu applications from gnome-do.
(thanks for gnome-do :) )

I get a similar error after installing amazon mp3 downloader on openSUSE, which involved semi-manually creating /usr/local/
Do.Universe.
Looking at my permissions, I realized that the root-owned /usr/local/
Still, Do shouldn't flip out if one of the .desktop paths is messed up.
