Apparently the problem is alacarte. I can get the new profile to have the leftover file if I touch the menu item in alacarte (i.e. unheck and check it). I'll file a bug for that, I guess.
In any case, it would still make sense for the package to remove the file in ~/.local/share/applications. Not sure if this affects other packages. ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- [packaging] Menu item is not removed on uninstall https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/340162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
