Public bug reported:
I've got a malformed Desktop Entry installed user-related; malformed because
the "Exec=*" line in it doesn't have any application string defined and it
should [1]. Anyway, it's there, malformed, and raises an error.

Fix :
replace lines ~261 in _zeitgeist/loggers/datasources/recent.py
from

if line.startswith("Exec") and \
line.split("=", 1)[-1].strip().split()[0] == application:
return unicode(fullname)

if execlinepattern.match(line) is not None and \
line.split("=", 1)[-1].strip().split()[0] == application:

Feel free to push the pattern upward to optimise.
One could even use full regexp extraction to get the application, but
I'm not familiar enough with python to code it.
Appears on zeitgeist trunk and ubuntu jaunty PPA package.
