I had a problem with wine menu. When I try to put the "Programs Files" menu from Wine in ubuntu menu, it crashes...

[Martin Forsgren (martin-forsgren)]

I get this crash when I rightclick and choose properties on a folder I created in the sound and video category.

[Matthäus Brandl (matthaeus)]

I just opened alacarte and opened some properties but without changing anything.
After closing alacarte the crash manager opened...

Well, I just ran into it myself. I wonder if anyone has tried to reinstall it, or not. It is possible the program didn't compile correctly also.

Confirmed when disabling Debian menu.

I'm experiencing this problem running UbuntuStudio Intrepid alpha 6. Attempting to change properties for the Accesories, Internet, and Multimedia icons causes the crash.

Today's update to ubuntustudio-menu fixed my problem.

[moob (milan-jaros-gmail)]

Crashed If I tried to modify alacarte name...
After update I lost names of alacarts (current name is alacarte-made-N)

[moob (milan-jaros-gmail)]

I still can't edit that "folders" under main menu. I can't create new folder too (it looks like often but folder isn't created).

I have question. I here anybody who have the main menu edit dialog as slow as I have? I can tell you it is damn slow.

Crashed after trying to edit the menu in jaunty alpha 6

[Luke Whitmore (lwhitmore)]

Crashed after trying to edit the menu in jaunty beta.

I've been having problems with quite a few apps which run using python 2.6 -> I saw in the crash report that this version of python was involved.

[Martin Forsgren (martin-forsgren)]

this bug existed before python 2.6.
