Based on what you've given me this looks like a bug in gnome-menus, not alacarte.
** Changed in: alacarte (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: alacarte => gnome-menus -- Menu separator can not be removed https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36979 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
