I also get this error. When I run alacarte from the terminal, I get the following output whenever I click "New item":
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 311, in on_new_item_button_clicked process = subprocess.Popen(['gnome-desktop-item-edit', file_path], env=os.environ) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1239, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890287 Title: Main Menu "New Item" button isn't working Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using ubuntu 11.10 in "Main Menu" the buttons - "New Item" "New Separator" "New Menu" aren't working - Nothing happens when pressing them.
