Package: alacarte
Version: 0.8-5
Followup-For: Bug #382452
When I was having the same problem with menu changes not taking effect, I ran
/usr/bin/alacarte in pdb, and got the following output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/downloads/debian/alacarte-0.8/src/Alacarte$ pdb
/usr/bin/alacarte

-> from Alacarte.GnomeFront import GnomeFront

Once I chown'd the folders to myuser.mygroup, then everything started to work.
I'm guessing that I started alacarte with sudo the first time, which chown'd
everything to root.root. Should the documentation note that this is a per-user
tool?
