I discovered something strange earlier today. My menu contained two elements: etherape and etherape (as root). The second entry worked as advertised, without any error message. I tested with a virtual machine, and it seems this entry is not added to the menu on install, but will show up after a reboot. Also, I forgot to mention I am using gnome, but I assume it would be similar on other Desktop Environments as well.
