DDM will not start when launched from the menu or from the terminal. When launched from the menu nothing appears to happen but desktop-data-manager shows up as a process in gnome-system-monitor. When launched from a terminal the following output occurs;

DDM still does not start. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit edition. DDM worked fine on Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit.

This bug is still present, even after 12 months.. looks like the project has been dropped.
