certain applications crash with assertion error on menu_proxy_module_load

[Jamie Pietarinen]

When trying to run "alacarte" from the command line I get the following error.

** (alacarte:2247): CRITICAL **: menu_proxy_module_load: assertion `dbusproxy != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault

This is happening in multiple applications and it seems to be caused by the install package overriding certain library files on Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition. I say this because I still get the error when I log into the normal NE. Doing an apt-get remove ubuntu-netbook-unity-default-settings does not fix the problem.

happens with gagedit, putty I´m runnig Ubuntu 10.04 64 bits Desktop (not the netbook edition), but I have unity installed, may be thats the problem

[aloctavodia (aloctavodia)]

the problems seems to be related to the package appmenu-gtk, removing that package solves the problem. probably this bug is a duplicated of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-gtk/+bug/593474

This could also be a gtk bug.
