How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log in.
  
Additional info:
Was working with 0.5.22 and 0.2.19.

With this change the Apps list in the side panel actually starts up and shows
applications, whereas previously it was empty:

Hm, I don't see an attribute categoryDisplayName in the XML.  It seems likely
that there was a transient issue that caused the original failure.

As regards the other two AttributeErrors; there have been some changes in this
area in 0.5.23, but I'm not sure whether I can say for sure they're fixed.  Can
you still reproduce at 100%?

0.5.26 works fine without any changes.
