Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: alacarte

Hello,
Sometimes I am unable to edit a menu entry in alacarte, but sometimes I can. If 
I click on the properties button for the menu entries, it sometimes fails to 
open, however, If I continue to click on the properties button to other random 
menu entries, I will be able to edit the one I want to edit eventually. It 
seems that when I repeatedly click on the same properties button that failed to 
open, it makes the problem worse. This applies to Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 1.

Running alacarte in the terminal provides this output as soon as a
properties button fails to open:

ja...@lucid:~$ alacarte
