Comment 22 for bug 1026411

Hi @Rohit,

When you had only the new version installed, was it runnable from command
line? That should be possible and sufficient imo. Perhaps the OPs setup of
the egg does not to do the gnome menu setup process.
Alternatively you could try installing the old version and then installing
the .egg on top and see if that fixes your issue.. Or you could just try
manually making the changes i have listed in the .patch file.
