Description Hendrik Knackstedt 2010-07-22 08:08:24 UTC 
Reported in Ubuntu Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/alacarte/+bug/118936):

If you delete a program's menu item form Alacarte you can never again recover it: neither pressing the "revert" button, not uninstalling that program and installing it again.

That makes deleting a launcher EXTREMELY dangerous, so please - either remove the "delete" function of Alacarte, and let the user just show or hide the launcher; or fix Alacarte so the revert button actually reverts the menu to a state where deleted launchers are recovered.

This bug is VERY serious in my opinion.
