I tried adding a new item to the Programming menu.

I restarted alacarte and then clicked on Programming item in the GUI This is what appeared: [root@hoho6 ffcs]# alacarte Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 354, in on_menu_tree_cursor_changed self.loadItems(self.menu_store[menu_path][2], menu_path) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 218, in loadItems icon = util.getIcon(item) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/util.py", line 151, in getIcon pixbuf = info.load_icon() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/types.py", line 43, in function return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs) gi._glib.GError: Can't open directory Stepping through the directories, I see: [user1@hoho6 site-packages]$ cd Alacarte bash: cd: Alacarte: No such file or directory [user1@hoho6 site-packages]$ pwd /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages [user1@hoho6 site-packages]$ It appears that some things are looked for in /usr/lib/python2.7 and other things in /usr/lib64/python2.7 where they are not.
[user1@hoho6 Alacarte]$ pwd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte [user1@hoho6 Alacarte]$ util.py line 151 seems to be looking for an icon file.
Hmm, clicking on all other Alacarte menus does not provoke the above 'Can't open directory error message. Perhaps there is something messed up in a directory from my previous attempt to insert a new item in the Programming Menu.
When I look at the screen Activities->Applications, I can see the application I added (FreeFem++-cs). In fact, it is shown 3x, once with an icon and 2x without an icon. (Clicking on it does not bring up the application though) If I right-click on the icon, I see 'New Window' and 'Add to Favorites'. At this stage, it would be handy to be able to 'Delete'. These 3 application icons (one with icon, the other 2 without) have been added to the 'Other' category. However, when I go into the Alacarte application and Main-Menu-> Other I don't see those icons or applications.
OK, one of the icon-less icons of FreeFem++-cs in Activities->Applications does indeed work. The application pops up. The other clones of FreeFem++-cs point to an earlier version of FreeFem, which was deleted. However, Alacarte does not show FreeFem++-cs in any of its menus
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
