There are a couple of bugs:

1. Click on audio CD desktop icon, runs Celluloid. It should run Audacious.
2. CherryTree missing from the menu; it should be in the "personal" category.
   

...both of these are fixed, for the next release. For now, in the case of CherryTree, type "cherrytree" in a terminal to run it.
