Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-menus

In my new Dapper installation in French, when I choose Applications/Outils système/Éditeur de menu Gnome (menu editor, as you may guess even if you don't speak French), I get an error message that smeg doesn't exist. Indeed, it is no more to be found at all in the Dapper distribution but was replaced by alacarte. Alacarte virtually provides smeg but not its name. (I did not upgrade from Breezy, I did a new installation. But I DID keep my /home partition and did mount it as the new /home in Dapper. Is this the reason?)
Having a menu error in the very Menu editor is annoying! Still, it is possible to launch alacarte from a terminal to correct the menu by replacing the smeg command by alacarte. Another way round would be to place a link to alacarte named smeg in /usr/bin, I suppose.

Thanks for your bug. You likely have a smeg.desktop you create somewhere. Does "locate smeg.desktop" lists any such .desktop?

Indeed, in my .local/share/applications.

Then remove that file and all should be fine.
