@Jeremy: is it really an upstream bug? Here is the solution that I'm proposing: * Create a new package in order to separate gnome-desktop-item-edit and gnome-panel: lp:~matttbe/ubuntu/precise/gnome-panel/975299 * Replace gnome-panel by gnome-desktop-item-edit for Alacarte recommended packages: lp:~matttbe/ubuntu/precise/alacarte/975299
The new versions of these packages are building on my ppa (ppa:matttbe/ppa) (I tested just before with pbuilder) and I think it fixes this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975299 Title: gnome-desktop-item-edit should be in a new package Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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. 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.
