Title:
  I can not edit menu entries in alacarte at random - Ubuntu Lucid
  (10.04)

Status in “alacarte” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: alacarte

  Hello,
  Sometimes I am unable to edit a menu entry in alacarte, but sometimes I can. If I click on the properties button for the menu entries, it sometimes fails to open, however, If I continue to click on the properties button to other random menu entries, I will be able to edit the one I want to edit eventually. It seems that when I repeatedly click on the same properties button that failed to open, it makes the problem worse. This applies to Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 1.

  Running alacarte in the terminal provides this output as soon as a
  properties button fails to open:

  james@Lucid:~$ alacarte
