Bug Description

Hey,

My gnome-do stopped searching for new applications..
I use Ubuntu 9.10.
I removed the /.local/share/gnome-do folder, reinstalled and it still doesn't search for my applications (those in the menu).
Help!

Okay, got it to work..

I ran Gnome-Do from the terminal..

** (Do:4873): WARNING **: FindNextFile: Bad encoding for '/home/went/.local/share/applications/wine/\xb5Torrent.desktop'

Do.Universe.Linux.ApplicationItemSource "Applications" encountered an error in UpdateItems: Win32 IO returned ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES. Path: /home/went/.local/share/applications/wine.

So the uTorrent shortcut on the desktop and the applications menu was causing the problem...because the u is a symbol thats in 'invalid' encoding...
Because of this Gnome-do doesn't display any other applications also..
Please add a patch that skips such errors...because somebody less comfortable with computers wouldnt have been able to find this...

Thank you..:)
