Unable to add launcher in preferences dialog

Asked by ®om

When I click on "add" in "launchers" in preferences, I have this error in console :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/awn-manager/awnLauncher.py", line 213, in add
    process = subprocess.Popen(['gnome-desktop-item-edit', file_path], env=os.environ)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 593, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1135, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type

I use kubuntu 7.10.

Thank you by advance.

This is more of an installation problem rather than a bug.

The most recent released version of Awn requires that gnome-panel is installed for its launcher editor application. However, there is a version in development that does not require gnome-panel, as a custom launcher editor has been written for Awn. Here is the link to the (k)ubuntu repository:
