Alacarte on F-18/64 XFCE -

[Bob Goodwin - Zuni, Virginia, USA]

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 at 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?

Bob
