Keep only one issue per bug report, please. Otherwise it's too
complicated to track what's been fixed and what's still open. Thanks.

Already fixed in Bug #1069207 for raring, and currently available in
quantal-proposed for testing.

I patched alacarte in Ubuntu to call exo-desktop-item-edit when the
environment variable $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is equal to "XFCE". If you
installed Xubuntu and didn't change the session startup it should be
fine.

Try menulibre instead, at least it's not in java. :P
