Seems like alacarte has some problems when trying to edit menu points
with non utf-8 chars. I tried installing an application via wine. This
created a menu entry with unreadable chars. After trying to delete this
entry via alacarte my menu is empty as described by the other people in
this bug report.
The actual traceback of alacarte is as follow:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 435, in
on_item_tree_show_toggled

menu).dom.toprettyxml().replace('<?xml version="1.0" ?>\n', '')))
