[Bug 975299] Re: gnome-desktop-item-edit should be in a new package

[Jeremy Bicha]

Since this isn't a Ubuntu-specific feature request, I'd  like to see
this proposed to the GNOME developers. Perhaps gnome-desktop-item-edit
could be a part of the gnome-desktop package. Then it wouldn't need to
be a separate package.

Title:
  gnome-desktop-item-edit should be in a new package

Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I think gnome-panel and exo-utils should not be recommended by Alacarte package.
  Indeed, Alacarte is a menu editor for the GNOME desktop but the Gnome-Panel and the Xfce-Panel are not the only one with a Gnome-Menu (e.g. made with libgnome-menu).
  Cairo-Dock (but I'm sure there is also other applications) also uses libgnome-menu in order to have a "Gnome-Menu-like" and we can use Cairo-Dock without Gnome/XFCE Panel.

  But Alacarte needs gnome-desktop-item-edit or exo-desktop-item-edit (only on XFCE sessions) to edit .desktop.
  Is it maybe possible to move 'gnome-desktop-item-edit' in a new package?
  I think it's the best solution if we want to edit menus with Alacarte on a Cairo-Dock session without installing all dependences of gnome-panel.

  Thank you
