Awn-manager gets wrong value type from gconf

[Wolf Rogner]

Binary package hint: yelp

awn-manager does not start.

wolf@pb:~$ awn-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/awn-manager", line 220, in <module>

    if self.client.get_int(defs.BAR, defs.BAR_ANGLE) == 0:
glib.GError: Type mismatch: Expected `int' got `float' for key /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/bar_angle

Using gconf-editor to fix /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/bar_angle from float to int and entering the desired value fixes the problem.

Hello
Is this problem present with the latest updated Karmic's or Lucid's packages?
Thanks in advance
Fabio

In fact, I have not had an error in awn in lucid.

For all my worth, close this report
