Bug Description

Hi Awn developer,
Firstly, let me say thank you to all of you guys, awn is beauty and useful :)

Umm..The problem is this. Most of the .desktop shortcut is able to run even if i drag and drop them into the awn stacks applet.

Some of them require me to remove the "%U" or "%F" in the .desktop file. After doing this, they are runnable.

However, the workaround is not workable for gmplayer.

I tried to create a shell script which execute "mplayer -gui", but no luck.

Basically gmplayer just crash when i open a video. Error is this.
"MPlayer interrupted by signal 13 in module: unknown"

If i open gmplayer from the main menu, no problem occurs :(

Moving to awn-extras.

Per the instructions on the bug reporting page, this should have been
filed in the Awn Extras project, because it is an applet-specific
problem.

Stacks uses libdesktop-agnostic's fdo module to launch .desktop files since revision 1351.
