Slickswitcher crashes

[Mike Rushton]

Ubuntu 9.10 fully updated with universe, multiverse, proposed and backports enabled
AWN version 0.3.9.1.1~bzr638-1.9.10 from PPA

I get this when adding the Slickswitcher applet in preferences:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This has been fixed in r1226; thanks for your bug report. While it doesn't crash, it may not be able to get the background(s) from Compiz. Could you please paste the contents of ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig/config
Thanks.
