File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 595, in __init__
errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1092, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Oops.. I just copied and pasted the output from this forum topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=621381#p621381 instead of copying it from the terminal without looking. The subprocess the error complains is actually missing is "gnome-desktop-item-edit".
