[Bug 39021] .desktop application launching broken.

[Scott Robinson]

Public bug reported:

Affects: deskbar-applet (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Whenever an application that is referenced by a .desktop file is
attempted to be launched, deskbar-applet crashes hard.

The relevant traceback follows:

Match selected:  <programs.GenericProgramMatch instance at 0xb588a6cc>
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/programs.py:64: GtkWarning: gdk_screen_get_display: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed
  self._desktop.launch([])

I imagine this might be related with the new push of libgnome-desktop-2.
