Well, you did tell the system you don't want those applications anymore. Deleting them marks them as Hidden which makes nautilus, the menus, and gnome-session completely ignore them.
However, in a future release of alacarte you will not be able to delete things at all (because people don't realize it has these kinds of effects) so I guess that'll "fix" this bug. ** Changed in: alacarte (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Removing unused applications via alacarte results in unusable desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378422 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
