Title: Alacarte ignores XDG_MENU_PREFIX Status in Alacarte Menu Editor: Fix Released Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “alacarte” source package in Quantal: Fix Committed Status in “alacarte” source package in Raring: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] * Inability to edit a menu when its filename is "$XDG_MENU_PREFIX"applications.menu instead of only applications.menu. [Test case] * Start your Xubuntu session. * Open Alacarte (Settings > Main menu). * Try to unhide a desktop file, e.g. check GParted in System. * Close Alacarte, check your menu, nothing changed. * Install alacarte from -proposed * Repeat the steps above. * The changes are now applied, e.g. GParted should now appear in the System submenu. [Regression Potential] * On systems where XDG_MENU_PREFIX is set but applications.menu is used, alacarte won't write to the correct menu file (this case shouldn't happen naturally, even gnome-menus supports this envvar). 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.
