Alacarte on F-18/64 XFCE -

[Bob Goodwin]

Is there a problem with "alacarte" or is it something I am doing wrong? 
I have three Fedora-18/64 XFCE computers all producing the same errors:

[bobg@box10 ~]$ alacarte

(alacarte:14894): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:72:18: 
Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.

(alacarte:14894): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:72:20: 
Not using units is deprecated. Assuming 'px'.

Then when I pick an item and ask it to show the "Properties.":

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 
448, in on_properties_button_clicked
     self.on_edit_properties_activate(None)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 
326, in on_edit_properties_activate
     process = subprocess.Popen(['gnome-desktop-item-edit', file_path], 
env=os.environ)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 679, in __init__
     errread, errwrite)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1249, in _execute_child
     raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I would like to identify the names in the menus with nomenclature I can 
understand, application names. Is there a way to do it with a text 
editor, a file I can modify?

Check bugzilla; there have been a number of similar bugs going back at 
least to F 16, if not earlier.

Did I do that? Sorry if I did. I usually take care to avoid that, may 
have clicked on the wrong Thunderbird Mail box when I sent? I read 
everything with white on black, works best with my old optics.

Hello!

In the updates-testing repository there's an update for Alacarte
that should make it works properly.   I will try it, if someone else
wants to try it too...

Regards,
Lailah

PD:  I'm using Mate that uses Alacarte too for menu editing.

Install whatever provides gnome-desktop-item-edit and please file a bug
for the missing requires.

Installed:
   gnome-panel.x86_64 0:3.6.2-2.fc18

Yes that makes it work, still the GTK Warnings but it looks like it is 
usable.

Thank you,
