Hi jfs,

Thanks for your bug report. Yes, the bug was solved some time ago and
alacarte in sid is 0.11.3-1 now. From what I understand, It seems that
if you set an icon one string will be passed to
GnomeIconEntry.set_pixmap_subdir() hiding the bug, could you confirm?

I'll consider an upload to t-p-u, yes.
