I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 and I have the same problem.

I provide the following outputs:

When I execute alacarte from terminal I get:

edu...@ecc:~/Desktop$ 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/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 48, in 
__init__
    self.editor = MenuEditor()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 36, in 
__init__
    self.__loadMenus()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 63, in 
__loadMenus
    self.save(True)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 67, in save
    fd = open(getattr(self, menu).path, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 
'/home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu'

Of course I can execute it using sudo.

Then, because the permission is denied to
/home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu I tried to list it:

edu...@ecc:~/Desktop$ ls /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu
ls: cannot access /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu: Permission 
denied

edu...@ecc:~/Desktop$ sudo ls /home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu
/home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu

So the problem might be the permisions on the file
/home/eduard/.config/menus/applications.menu

Since the missing information is now provided, may be this bug could be
reopened.
