Yes I understand that gnome-desktop-item-edit should be part of another GNOME package but here is an Ubuntu specific solution to fix this bug by simply separating gnome-desktop-item-edit and gnome-panel (just like libpanel-applet-4-0 and gnome-panel-data which are available on separated packages).
I can report this bug to Debian devs too if you want but they are still using the version '3.2.1'. -- 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.
