awn-settings crashed with GError in refresh_icon_list()

[Jens]

Binary package hint: avant-window-navigator

This bug happens after starting awn-settings, either from the menu, or from right clicking the dock and choosing dock preferences or starting via cli

cli output:
jens@neo:~$ awn-settings
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (AwnOverlay)

glib.GError: Icon 'screenlets' not present in theme

I used to have a screenlets theme in my old install, I took my home dir with settings files to my new install but appareantly the theme didn't come with it and now awn-settings crashes. It would be helpfull to just get a message saying missing theme and letting me continue, because now I can't even install the theme (using the gui, if there is any other way)

Same problem with ubuntu 10.10 32 bit.
I try to remove all configure files of awn and reinstall theme but this error still exists.
So What should I do to fix it? Is there any command line to remove awn-applet or change awn-theme?
By the way, Can I use keyboard shortcut to open cairo-menu in awn? If yes, please show me the way to do it.
Thanks for reading :)

[Nguyen Duc Long (s8dragon)]

Oh, I just find a way to fix it:
Run gconf-editor, find the key: "/apps/instances/avant-window-navigator/panel-1/panel/applet_list", then remove all wrong value. Welldone, I hope you would success.
Anyway, It seems there is not command line to remove or run awn-applet at this time :D
