Hello,

I have had installed sunflower on my Xubuntu machine, using sunflower's custom .deb [1], and created a custom launcher in my XFCE menu, which shall execute the command "sunflower %F".

Later on, I removed sunflower using Xubuntu's apt-get remove --purge. As expected, my custom launcher stayed in the menu and was broken. However, when I try to remove the broken launcher, the properties dialog of the menu fails to find or display an entry for it. Hence, I am unable to remove the broken launcher.

As I played around with the menu properties (disabled other menu items), my broken launcher moved within the menu from being the first item (as originally intended by me) to being the last one.

Most interestingly, I have just created a dummy executable for sunflower by executing:

# touch /usr/bin/sunflower
# chmod +x /usr/bin/sunflower

After this procedure, a menu item for "sunflower" was listed again to be deleted in the menu porperties dialog.

Closing bugs as xfce4-menu-plugin is deprecated/unmaintained/merged into Panel since years.
