Nope. The attribute word is 0.

Certainly. The problem is 2-fold. 1. People do the strangest things. 2.
Gremlins do everything. This little problem makes it impossible to do a
gremlin run that includes my app and the launcher.
Anyway, it is certainly a bug since launcher crashes. Launcher needs to
refresh its database list after doing a delete.
