update breaks linux mint mintMenu button

After an update on python-pyinotify using the ubuntuone-ppa, it breaks the mintMenu button with the error below.

Not sure if it is the mintMenu at fault or python-pyinotify. Reporting here but also reported on linux mint's lauchpad.

Linux Mint 7/ ubuntu intrepid

This is the upgrade from synaptic history:

python-pyinotify (0.7.1-1build1) to 0.8.6-2ubuntu3

Tried running mintMenu.py and applications.py in a terminal, but no errors thrown there. The below error appears when the button is pressed where the applications should be seen.

Couldn't load plugin: Applications
