Description Michal Toman 2013-01-03 19:09:15 UTC
Description of problem:
After installing F18 with Cinnamon, I've wanted to edit main menu. Alacarte is not installed by default (is there a reason for this?). Even after installing it, Alacarte tries to run 'gnome-desktop-item-edit', which fails because of missing gnome-panel.

Expected results:
alacarte package should depend on gnome-panel

Version-Release number of selected component:
alacarte-3.6.1-1.fc18

Additional info:

I am running Fedora 18 64 bit XFCE on three computers and had to yum install  gnome-panel.x86_64 0:3.6.2-2.fc18 after which it appears to work with some GTK Warnings.

Comment 3 Peter Williams 2013-07-24 06:19:11 UTC
This problem is also present in Fedora 19 and effects cinnamon-menu-editor as well as alacarte.  I've been unable to locate a package in that contains this file.  I tried installing the gnome-panel package from Fedora-18 (which contains the file) but yum refused saying that it was obsoleted by gnome-classic-session.  A check of the files in gnome-classic-session failed to find the file.

Comment 4 Peter Williams 2013-07-26 05:18:41 UTC
I've created a repository called <https://github.com/pwil3058/cdie> at GitHub that consists of source files extracted from a gnome-panel-3.6.2 source rpm and a hand generated Makefile (that works on my Fedora 19 (64) system).  It sucessfully builds an executable called cinnamon-desktop-item-edit which if renamed gnome-desktop-item-edit and placed somewhere in your PATH restores cinnamon-menu-editor's functionality.

This is just a quick workaraound NOT a final solution but may be useful until something more permanent is available.

Now that I have a working version (and MY itch is scratched) I will start stripping the code to remove bits that are not required to work towards something more permanent.
