comics.py crashed with KeyError in on_feed_updated()

[Andy Duffell]

Random crash, was not interacting directly with applet at the time. Applet is set to get the feeds from XKCD and Cyanide and Happiness, but comics were not maximised at the time.

Thanks for your bug report, forwarded upstream.

just had the same crash on amd64 ubuntu 9.10 beta; I was not interacting with the program or anything, I just suddenly realised the crash icon. Trying to recreate it failed though.

Thank you for your bug report.

Do you still have this problem with the 0.4.0 rc1 version of Awn and Awn-extras ?

You can obtain this version by one of the following ways :
- Using Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) up-to-date.
- Using the Awn-testing PPA (https://launchpad.net/~awn-testing/+archive/ppa) and installing avant-window-navigator-trunk.
- Using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gilir/+archive/backports/+packages)

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Just happened to me while interacting with the Mail applet. Started Awn, Mail applet logs in (Gmail account), hovered mouse over Mail applet and Comics! showed that backtrace. It didn't crash always, maybe every 10th time or so. After repeating that procedure several times, the complete dock crashed with this backtrace:

Exception in thread Thread-3 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 532, in __bootstrap_inner
