*** Please type your report below this line ***
When I try to start alacarte from the drop down menu it tries to start
up but the window does not appear. When I start it from the shell with
the alacarte & command I get the follow message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 26, in ?
