Xpra: Ticket #2395: Python3 tray start menu broken

Windows Python3 client r23522 (latest from beta repo)

Tray start menu commands don't launch for some applications. Client side error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\Xpra\trunk\src/xpra/client/gtk_base/gtk_tray_menu_base.py", line 1668, in app_launch
  File "C:/msys64/mingw64/lib/python3.7/re.py", line 192, in sub
    return _compile(pattern, flags).sub(repl, string, count)

owner changed from Antoine Martin to Mark Harkin

Do you have the full backtrace? What was the exception type?

Does r23602 fix things?

I can test if you can upload a new beta, haven't build the windows client in quite some time.

status changed from new to closed
resolution set to fixed

I can test if you can upload a new beta, haven't build the windows client in quite some time.

Done: https://xpra.org/beta/windows. Based on the stack trace, I'm fairly confident that the fix is correct.
