But is it maybe possible to move 'gnome-desktop-item-edit' in a new package? 
(it seems this request was proposed a long time ago: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319417 )
I think it's a good solution if we want to edit menus with Alacarte on a 
Cairo-Dock session without installing all dependences of gnome-panel.

** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #319417

** Description changed:

  Hello,
  
  I think gnome-panel and exo-utils should not be recommended by Alacarte 
package.
  Indeed, Alacarte is a menu editor for the GNOME desktop but the Gnome-Panel 
and the Xfce-Panel are not the only one with a Gnome-Menu (e.g. made with 
libgnome-menu).
  Cairo-Dock (but I'm sure there is also other applications) also uses 
libgnome-menu in order to have a "Gnome-Menu-like" and we can use Cairo-Dock 
without Gnome/XFCE Panel.
  
- This is why I'm proposing to no longer recommend these two packages. But
- of course we can add them as suggestions.
- 
- This bzr branch has been linked to this bug report: 
lp:~matttbe/ubuntu/precise/alacarte/975299
- This branch should be ready to be pushed on lp:ubuntu/alacarte
+ But Alacarte needs gnome-desktop-item-edit or exo-desktop-item-edit (only on 
XFCE sessions) to edit .desktop.
+ Is it maybe possible to move 'gnome-desktop-item-edit' in a new package?
+ I think it's the best solution if we want to edit menus with Alacarte on a 
Cairo-Dock session without installing all dependences of gnome-panel.
  
  Thank you
