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

[Jeremy Bicha]

Well Matthieu, we're almost out of time since gnome-panel is part of the
Edubuntu CD. I'd have to say it's probably not going to happen for
Precise.

It sounds like your bug is that you want to use Cairo Dock and alacarte
without installing gnome-panel but that doesn't seem an important enough
bug fix to me to rush in at the last moment.

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
