#2 desktop-data-manager shortcuts are not working

Shortcuts are not working.
I've seen the screencasts running desktop-data-manager on ubuntu, so I suspect I'm missing something.
I'm using desktop-data-manager_0.8.10 (installed from the .deb package) on ubuntu 6.10 and I have the same problem in two different systems, one i386 and the other amd64.

Here are some errors I'm getting in the log. I don't really know if they are related to the shortcuts issue.

Tell me if I can do anything to help.
BTW, What IDE are you using to develop?
