Offhand, this looks like a bug in pyxdg rather than awn-manager. Can someone confirm?

I think this too, I'm not sure to which package I need to affect it, (maybe simply python-2.6)

Yes, this is indeed a bug in PyXDG. xdg.DesktopEntry.DesktopEntry.new() used an if/elif structure to define the variable 'type', but there was no 'else'. This is already fixed in the latest version upstream, but that hasn't been released yet.

Correction: the fix has been released, PyXDG 0.19 should contain the patch for this.

(However, please be noticed that the fix contains of raising a ParsingError when the type is unknown, rather than continuing with a non-existing variable 'type'.)
