Bug#254951: Reproducing bug #254951
I have encountered this bug as well, and it seems only to affect
non-KDE applications. Reproducing the problem:
Right click on the panel to bring up the context menu. Select
Add->Application Button->Debian->Apps->Net->Gaim (any non-KDE
application will have the same problem)
Right click on the newly-created button to bring up its context menu
and select Properties.
Click the icon, select a new one and click OK
The error message will be
"Could not save properties. You do not have sufficient access to write
to /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/gaim.desktop"
Other symptoms: chmod a+w /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/*.desktop
fixes the problem temporarily, but the permissions are usually reset
after an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and the problem reappears.
Platform:
Debian Unstable i386 (updated August 7, 2004)
Kernel 2.6.7-1-k7
libc6 2.3.2.ds1-15
kicker 3.2.3-1
