I've also noticed this (Xubuntu 12.10 amd64). Nothing in alacarte actually does anything. Deleting items doesn't do anything, except sometimes it does work for the top two entries (Web Browser and Mail Reader). Hiding items doesn't work. Showing hidden items doesn't work. After changing the show toggle, the settings mysteriously revert back after a couple of seconds. Adding new menus or menu items doesn't do anything either. It's obvious from within alacarte that's something's wrong.
I've also tried running alacarte from the command line, to see if any error messages print out. Nothing. I tried running it using sudo and gksudo, but those both failed in different ways. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069207 Title: Unable to edit or add items to main menu Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On a fresh install of XUbuntu 64bit I am unable to add items to the main menu. All the buttons seem to work but when you hit "New Item" or "New Menu", type in your settins and click "create" nothing happens. Also attempted to disable some menu items and while the menu editor shows the changes there are no changes to the actual menu, even after restarting X.
