Bug Description
alacarte calls /usr/bin/
Symptoms:
If you run alacarte from the command line, you will see an error like this when you click on "New Item":
File "/usr/share/
process = subprocess.
File "/usr/lib/
errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
If you run alacarte from a menu, you will simply find that when you click "New Item" nothing happens: no dialog box for the item appears.
Workaround: install gnome-panel through your package manager
Fix: three possibilities:
(1) alacarte should depend on gnome-panel
(2) gnome-desktop-
(3) gnome-desktop-
