Description of problem: MintMenu crashed again. Don't know why other than I was trying to click an application icon in the menu. The application would not run. Tried to run Fedora Utils. The app will run from a launcher on the desktop but not from MintMenu. Trying to run from MintMenu causes MintMenu to crash.

So this happens only with fedora-utils? Can you post the content of (usr/share/applications/fedora-utils.desktop or what ever this third party app called? I suggest to ask the maintainer of fedora-utils in fedora forum for help.
No, it also happens with Gnome Weather. Here is the desktop file for Fedora-utils, followed by the one for Gnome Weather.

Ok, in case of gnome-weather you should change the exec line to Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-weather I don't know why gnome use dbus to start an application and break their progs for using in other desktop. Starting mintmenu with 'mate-panel-test-applets' gives me this error for fedorautils. sh: x-terminal-emulator: command not found Change exec line here to Exec=mate-terminal -e fedorautils because fedorautils needs a terminal to run. I suqqest to report the issue from that third party app to their developer. http://satya164.github.io/fedorautils/ I will re-assign this issue to gnome-weather, maybe they will fix the issue.
Oddly enough, the problem applications launch normally from the Main Menu and the Menu Bar in Mate desktop, without changing the shortcuts. For some reason it only affects the shortcuts of these applications in MintMenu. Something about MintMenu causes these shortcuts to fail, whereas they work just fine in the Main Menu and Menu Bar in Mate Desktop. What would cause that?
Be patience, i've talked with mint devs today. For the momment i suggest to use my workaround.
https://github.com/linuxmint/mintmenu/issues/53
I did use the workaround in changing the .desktop files. It did not work. Then, I found that I also had to change it in the MintMenu itself before it would work.
Just happened again. This time it occurred just after I had edited a menu item using the context menu in MintMenu.
Add Users and Groups (system-config-users) to the list of applications that won't launch from MintMenu. I looked at both desktop file and the menu item's properties. Both have the correct information, which is /usr/bin/system-config-users and does work from the other menus and/or from the terminal. But it will not launch either from MintMenu or from Control Center.
mintmenu-5.5.1-0.1.git9e8c4d91.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mintmenu-5.5.1-0.1.git9e8c4d91.fc19

So far, the crashing hasn't happened but the launching problems still occur.

Note, this update fix two things. 1. The crash if an application doesn't start, which is the topic of this report. 2. The issue if an application needs a terminal for starting. See comment from upstream, https://github.com/linuxmint/mintmenu/issues/53#issuecomment-32769559 The issue with system-config-users is a so called 'double forking' issue from apps who need pkexec execution. This is a well known bug. https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-control-center/issues/51 It would be help if you file out a report directly at github mintmenu. You could workaround with this setting in desktop file. Terminal=true Same for system-config-nfs, system-config-date,system-config-keyboard. system-config-keyboard gui seems to be broken in general.
