Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: alacarte

I think this may be related to bug #75101 (although I don't get that
error message) and the rejected bug #51332.

Using alacarte 0.10.1-0ubuntu1 on Edgy.

Alacarte appears not to be updating its display, although it is actually
changing the menu. This makes it appear as though it isn't doing
anything, although it is. It also makes it very hard to use.

Checking the 'show' box next to an application has no visible effect (I
would expect the box to be checked). The menus are actually updated,
however.

If you make a new menu item it doesn't then appear in alacarte. It does
appear in the actual menu though.

Changing the icon used by an application updates it in the menu, but
alacarte still shows the old icon.

If you close alacarte and restart it still doesn't show the new info. It
is as though it is using a static copy of the application data. The
menus remain changed, of course.

I've run from the command line and I don't get any errors. I've had an
occasional one about dbus, but nothing that looks interesting.
