Hi,
I just ran into the same issue with the hamster applet not starting
anymore. I am running Debian wheezy with some backports installed (see
system information below). When I run it from the shell I always got the
following output:
$ hamster-time-tracker
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/hamster-time-tracker", line 602, in <module>
app = ProjectHamster()
File "/usr/bin/hamster-time-tracker", line 110, in __init__
self.init_workspace_tracking()
File "/usr/bin/hamster-time-tracker", line 209, in
init_workspace_tracking
if not wnck: # can't track if we don't have the trackable
NameError: global name 'wnck' is not defined
Following the advice in message #12 from Debian Bug #693508 did not help
me at all. I even removed the mentioned file
~/.gconf/apps/hamster-applet/%gconf.xml entirely, but even this didn't help.
What did help though was to run gconf-editor and set the Gconf key
/apps/hamster-applet/workspace_tracking to an empty list. After that
hamster started again. Apparently Gconf on my system stores the settings
somewhere else...
I hope this information is useful to other users affected by this issue.
Happy hacking,
Micha
