What do you mean with "empty or invalid file"? Do you mean the
.desktop file or the image for the launcher?

I grabbed a fresh copy from CVS at 18:50 but the error still
occurs. I changed line 225 in the file perl-item-edit (with my
rudimentary perl skills):

-- From --

$selector->get_preview_widget->set_from_pixbuf($pbf) if
defined($pixbuf));

-- To --

$selector->get_preview_widget->set_from_pixbuf($pbf) if
defined(my $pixbuf));


And it works now here. Its a crude hack in my opinion, ad it is
very very ugly ;).

Great, thanks a lot.

Yes, i am using wget for mirroring. I can give you my IP address
so that you can only allow it for this IP (if you want).

I know that Debian would never accept a CVS version for a stable
tree so i would build a CVS version for Woody (later Sarge). But
i have seen that you already build DEBs. I think about the
package (and ebuild) creation on a regular basis from CVS. I will
contact the maintainers.
