Bug Description

Installing alacarte in Xubuntu installs half of GNOME, including Unity and Compiz. This can be worked around by using --no-install-recommends, but since alacarte is a menu editor that should work with all desktop environments, this shouldn't be needed.

The packages which ultimately lead to installing Unity and Compiz should be removed from recommends. If that is not possible (something in Alacarte breaks when doing that), the parts that Alacarte need should probably be moved to their own packages.

This happens at least on 11.10.

---------------
alacarte (0.13.2-2ubuntu4) precise; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/40-call-exo-d-i-e-on-xfce.patch: call exo-desktop-item-edit
    instead of gnome-desktop-item-edit when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=XFCE.
  * debian/control: add alternate deps on libgarcon-common for gnome-menus and
    alternate recommends on exo-utils for gnome-panel as they provide the
    features needed by alacarte to work on Xfce. lp: #925801
