[Simon Pepping]

Package: hamster-applet
Version: 2.91.3+git20120514.b9fec3e1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

When I start hamster-time-tracker, it fails with the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hamster-time-tracker", line 602, in <module>
    app = ProjectHamster()
  File "/usr/bin/hamster-time-tracker", line 110, in __init__
    self.init_workspace_tracking()
  File "/usr/bin/hamster-time-tracker", line 209, in init_workspace_tracking
    if not wnck: # can't track if we don't have the trackable
NameError: global name 'wnck' is not defined
