I would think this is an alacarte bug but I can't get it to make a file called 'Applications.menu' since that one already exists for the root menu (which is why hiding it makes your menu go away). I have seen a couple of other people say trying to hide the gnome-pim menu entries makes their menu disappear and it was the same problem.
