I tried editting my menu through both right click on applications and system > 
preferences > main menu.
Both methods resulted in me waiting for something to happen but nothing came 
along.

I needed sudoers rights to get it running through commandline. (No popup
for requesting sudoers authentications comes up when using the graphical
method)

Debug output:
l...@luc-laptop:~$ alacarte 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 32, in main
    app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 50, in 
__init__
    self.editor = MenuEditor()

    fd = open(getattr(self, menu).path, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

I've read there were simillear problems with 8.04 hardy, but it's still
not fixed.
