Well from what I understand the actual whatever.desktop files that your 
programs/packages install are never changed... and Alacarte just has a 
'memory' of the changes (like renamed ones, moved ones, ones you've 
added icons to) you've made to them  -  but doesn't alter the actual 
files.  So if you made a new unix user and logged in you'd get the 
default menu from whatever.desktop files all over again.

I think I did try Alacarte with XFCE before and got mixed results and 
everyone was screaming in #xfce that I shouldn't even try!

Anyone else got experience with Alacarte (or any other menu editor) and 
XFCE?
