Description Tim Waugh 2007-09-26 09:00:12 UTC 
Description of problem:
When one of my 'popular applications' is not installed it shows in the
Applications list with '(Click to install)' underneath, but clicking gives a
traceback in .xsession-errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/bigboard/stocks/apps/AppsStock.py", line 398, in <lambda>
    display.connect("button-press-event", lambda display, event: display.launch())

TypeError: Don't know how which D-Bus type to use to encode type "NoneType"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
100%

Fix attached (am I a cool online desktop hacker now?).
