Bug#327557: gnome-desktop-data: fails to display create launcher popup on desktop

[Carl Greco]

Package: gnome-desktop-data
Version: 2.8.3-2
Severity: normal



Popup menu to install a launcher does not appear when I right click on the
desktop and then click "Create Launcher".  The other options seem to
work ok, e.g. open terminal, create folder, create document.  I however
can create a launcher on the panel then copy to the desktop.  I did not
find a bug report on this.  Must be something in my configuration, but I
can't seem to find the problem.  I running the latest stable release
with all updates. See below and "apt-get check" does not report anything
broken.
