Steps to Reproduce:

Is this still valid with new Xfce from core/updates_testing?
Comment 2 Denis Prost 2012-09-18 09:55:49 CEST
The bug is still there with xfce4-panel 4.10.0-1.1.mga2
Comment 3 Jani Välimaa 2012-09-18 14:51:42 CEST
Can't see such option anywhere. Could you grab a screenshot?
Comment 4 Denis Prost 2012-09-18 15:07:54 CEST
On xfce4 panel, Right click on the xfce4 application menu applet and choose properties.
Attached is the settings window that appears.
you'll see a "Editer le menu" button at the bottom right.
Clicking on it produces nothing.

OK, this button is visible only when alacarte is installed.

Could you try to launch alacarte from console to see if it's broken? I guess this is more related to alacarte than xfce itself.
Comment 7 Denis Prost 2012-09-19 09:00:23 CEST
you're right, alacarte is broken. Here is the output when started from terminal :

---------------
