BTW, to recreate the menus, simply remove the personalised menu file like so:
$ rm -f ~/.config/menus/applications.menu And rerun alacarte: $ alacarte It will hopefully recreate your menus from the system-wide defaults. If the system-wide defaults are broken too, try reinstalling the gnome- menus package. -- Alacarte emptied my Applications menu list. https://launchpad.net/bugs/61340 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
