Description Joseph Anthony Pasquale Holsten 2023-11-15 18:09:13 UTC 
mkdesktop script has a syntax error in the dialog to select desktop environment, specifically from the parentheses in “Awesome (Tiling Window Manager)”. Removing the parentheses is the trivial fix.

(In reply to Joseph Anthony Pasquale Holsten from comment #0)
Or you can use single quotes around "Awesome (Tiling Window Manager)”. And increase 30 to 50 in https://github.com/bourne-again/mkdesktop/blob/master/mkdesktop#L378 (width of dialog, 30 is too small for "Awesome (Tiling Window Manager)”).
