I can confirm problem 2 listed above, using alacarte in Dapper. I created a menu entry in a submenu. I used the icon button to bring up the Icon Selector window, browsed for the directory that I wanted, selected the icon, and clicked on OK in the Icon Selector window. The icon showed up in the Entry Editor window, but *not* in the Alacarte Menu Editor window, and it still did not appear after closing the Entry Editor window. I edited the entry again, selected the icon again, and then selected Run In Terminal. This caused the icon to appear back in the Alacarte Menu Editor. So I clicked again on Run In Terminal (since I don't actually want that option), and closed the Entry Editor. Now the menu has the icon that I selected.
I have had other problems with the Name not being updated after changing it in Entry Editor, but at the time I didn't try the "click on Run In Terminal twice" trick. -- Menu editor inconsistent behaviour https://launchpad.net/bugs/64851 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
