Bug Description
Binary package hint: alacarte
If you delete a program's menu item form Alacarte you can never again recover it: neither pressing the "revert" button, not uninstalling that program and installing it again.
That makes deleting a launcher EXTREMELY dangerous, so please - either remove the "delete" function of Alacarte, and let the user just show or hide the launcher; or fix Alacarte so the revert button actually reverts the menu to a state where deleted launchers are recovered.
This bug is VERY serious in my opinion.

I can revert deleted things just fine here. Also you can hit Ctrl-Z to undo if you delete something by accident. Can you give detailed steps to reproduce?
