Alacarte doesn't use libgnome-menu as a backend, but python-xdg. If I understand correctly the purpose of applications-merged, this means Alacarte won't be able to obtain the list of menu entries added by third-party applications using it. Currently this is already the case, the difference is that now gnome-panel and nautilus will correctly display them. In short, I don't think fixing gnome-panel will break alacarte more than it already is. -- Josselin Mouette /\./\ "Do you have any more insane proposals for me?"
