bad bug number, pasting manually:
unity-place-applications (0.2.46-0ubuntu4) oneiric; urgency=low
* Cherry-pick some fixes:
- Allow the Core category to be included under All Applications (and hence
show up in Dash searches as well). This means that one can now find Help,
Home Folder, Computer, and Network. The ommision of this xdg category was
probably a relic of our netbook launcher past (LP: #758042)
- Fix illegal XML in unity-place-applications.menu.in. xmllint is happy now.
Patch courtesy Daniel Holbert (LP: #772152)
- trim the alt + F2 command line (LP: #767750)
- ensure we are matching files as files (no space in the command). This
enables to launch gvim rrr:rrr.txt which is matched (LP: #776731)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Obtain an .deb for some crossover product. e.g. here's the demo for
crossover-games: (32 and 64 bit)
http://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/cxgames/demo/crossover-games-demo_10.1.0-1_i386.deb
http://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/cxgames/demo/ia32-crossover-games-demo_10.1.0-1_amd64.deb
2. Install the .deb with dpkg:
- sudo dpkg -i crossover-games-demo_10.1.0-1_i386.deb
+ sudo dpkg -i crossover-games-demo_10.1.0-1_i386.deb
ACTUAL RESULTS: This output:
Selecting previously deselected package crossover-games-demo.
(Reading database ... 166164 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking crossover-games-demo (from crossover-games-demo_10.1.0-1_i386.deb)
...
Setting up crossover-games-demo (10.1.0-1) ...
cxmenu:error: unable to parse '/etc/xdg/menus/unity-place-applications.menu':
Invalid string in comment field [Ln: 157, Col: 8]
Processing triggers for menu ...
EXPECTED RESULTS: No "cxmenu:error" line for unity-place-
applications.menu.
From hand-tweaking unity-place-applications.menu, I've discovered it's due to
this chunk of the file:
<!-- Note: Software Center uses an OnlyUnallocated clause to generate
-- the System section. We can't do that because we have the All Apps
-- section. Let's cross fingers and hope we match somewhat
-->
Those stray "--" markers are bad XML*, and if I remove them, this issue
goes away. (crossover products install without any such warning.)
*From
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/The_Importance_of_Correct_HTML_Commenting#XML :
For compatibility, the string "--" (double-hyphen) must not occur within
comments.
