[Seif Lotfy <620109@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to have a soltuion where the actor is the environment that
launches tha app and the subject is the app itself...
However his could mess up AJ terribly unless I query for all subjects except
for those of type software_item

Querying this and sroting it by mostusedactor will give us most launched but
not most used :/

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/zeitgeist/_zeitgeist/engine/main.py", line 497, in _insert_event_without_error
    return self._insert_event(event, sender)
  File "/usr/share/zeitgeist/_zeitgeist/engine/main.py", line 508, in _insert_event
    raise ValueError("Illegal event format: No subject")
ValueError: Illegal event format: No subject

If I send it an event without a subject. The reason why I am doing that is because I am trying to log whenever an app is launched. Like for instance when I launch the Gnome calculator. This way I can have "most popular apps" listings and what not :-)

So my request: Can we lax the requirement for events to have a subject?
