I've just gone through the upgrade process and am working my way through the issues now (have never had a clean ubuntu upgrade, sadly). I'm trying to edit the main menu, and if I go System > Preferences > Main Menu, nothing happens at all.

If I run alacarte from the terminal, I get the following output:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 22, in <module>
from Alacarte.MainWindow import MainWindow
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 19, in <module>
import gtk, gtk.glade, gmenu, gobject, gnomevfs, gnome.ui
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
from gtk import _gtk
ImportError: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: pango_layout_set_height

What do I do, haha? Please help!
