I'm currently on 0.9.90 (0ubuntu1). The error went away with edgy. with 0.8-0ubuntu12 (as written above) the error was still there.
It was produced by crossoveroffice, when I installed a german ms-office. This created "Umlauts" in the menu entries. Jürgen -- alacarte does not start https://launchpad.net/bugs/46027 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
