Comment 17 for bug 637671

@karl

 Thanks for the tip on how to run the main.py file.

 I upgraded the packages from the ppa. The python process now does not run, but becomes <defunct> and remains there until I open the "preferences" from the panel indicator's menu again (and closing this new window leaves behind a new <defunct> python process and so on).

 Also, the preferences window does not seem to open all the time... sometimes there seems to be no response on clicking the menu item. Same is the case for restart and quit menu items. Changing the input method from that indicator's menu however, seems to respond as expected. But this behavior has been there even before the upgrade to through your ppa.
