This still occurs for me in ubuntu 7.10. If you try to add an item to the system menu, it simply doesn't work. No error message or crash or anything. However if you look at the help page for alacarte it says this:
You can modify the contents of the following menus: Applications menu System ▸ Preferences submenu System ▸ Administration submenu So this behaviour is probably by design or omission. -- Can't drag menu items into the root System menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to alacarte in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
