MintMenu applet for Cairo Dock

[Nicholas Joll]

Dear Matthieu Baerts, and all

     You do not know me - I obtained your e-mail address(es) by using 
this Linux command:

    sudo apt-cache show cairo-dock  | grep -i Maintainer


Please forgive me for writing unsolicited. I write to ask whether 
something might be done about getting the 'MintMenu' applet working on 
the current stable version of Cairo Dock. This applet worked on a 
previous stable version of Cairo, I think - but, at least on Cinnamon 
and KDE - both on Linux Mint - it works no longer. And that is a great 
loss, for Mint badly needs Cairo Dock, and Cairo's generic Application 
Menu applet does not adequately replace Mint Menu.

     When I start Cairo from the terminal, with Mint Menu installed, I 
get the following output.

(I am on Mint 17.1 Cinnamon. I take the aforementioned point about KDE 
from an Internet forum.)

Yours with appreciation for Cairo Dock
