[ubuntu-studio-devel] MenuLibre

[lukefromdc at hushmail.com]

MATE has Mozo, a fork of Alacarte but right now it seems to be broken
on both Ubuntu and Debian, generating this error:

 File "/usr/bin/mozo", line 22, in <module>
    from Mozo.MainWindow import MainWindow
ImportError: No module named Mozo.MainWindow

Surely this will get fixed and then there will be another option.
