error on parsing empty application name from malformed desktop entry

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.

****************
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mtou/zeitgeist/zeitgeist/zeitgeist/../zeitgeist-datahub.py", line 108, in _update_db_async

    line.split("=", 1)[-1].strip().split()[0] == application:
IndexError: list index out of range

**************
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)
---
to
---
execlinepattern = re.compile("^Exec\b*=\b*\S+")
if execlinepattern.match(line) is not None and \
line.split("=", 1)[-1].strip().split()[0] == application:
    return unicode(fullname)
---

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.
