Travis -
Re earlier comment, I wasn't enabling New Login in Nested Window - I was
trying to add Add/Remove programs which had disappeared. This turned
out to be because of bug #96694, the root cause of which was because I
was in the adm group but not the admin group. This was caused by the
fact that my initial install on this machine was version 4.10 (warty)
which relied on the adm group. Since then I have only done upgrades,
not new installs, so I was never part of the admin group (which was
added around Dapper-ish timeframe).
At any rate, I have added myself to admin, and now Alacarte works fine.
I wonder if the behaviour I was seeing was due to inadequate
permissions. If that's the case, then a warning message from Alacarte
("your user doesn't have permission....") would probably be advisable.
