But is it maybe possible to move 'gnome-desktop-item-edit' in a new package? (it seems this request was proposed a long time ago: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319417 ) I think it's a good solution if we want to edit menus with Alacarte on a Cairo-Dock session without installing all dependences of gnome-panel.
** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #319417 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319417 ** Description changed: Hello, I think gnome-panel and exo-utils should not be recommended by Alacarte package. Indeed, Alacarte is a menu editor for the GNOME desktop but the Gnome-Panel and the Xfce-Panel are not the only one with a Gnome-Menu (e.g. made with libgnome-menu). Cairo-Dock (but I'm sure there is also other applications) also uses libgnome-menu in order to have a "Gnome-Menu-like" and we can use Cairo-Dock without Gnome/XFCE Panel. - This is why I'm proposing to no longer recommend these two packages. But - of course we can add them as suggestions. - - This bzr branch has been linked to this bug report: lp:~matttbe/ubuntu/precise/alacarte/975299 - This branch should be ready to be pushed on lp:ubuntu/alacarte + But Alacarte needs gnome-desktop-item-edit or exo-desktop-item-edit (only on XFCE sessions) to edit .desktop. + Is it maybe possible to move 'gnome-desktop-item-edit' in a new package? + I think it's the best solution if we want to edit menus with Alacarte on a Cairo-Dock session without installing all dependences of gnome-panel.
