alacarte totally messed up my Gnome 3 menu

Hello,

I wanted to remove some icons from my "Applications" Dash in Gnome-Shell with alacare like I have done a dozen times.
I could not get one icon to untick "show" and alacarte was not very responsive. How ever I managed to close it.

After that I tried to start alacarte again but it failed. Decieded to reboot and try again and to my surprise my entire
quicklaunch tab and applications menu is empty.

Starting alacarte fails with following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 32, in main
    app = MainWindow(datadir, version)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 43, in __init__
    self.editor = MenuEditor()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.applications = Menu('applications.menu')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 31, in __init__
    self.load()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 45, in load
    raise ValueError("can not load menu tree %r" % (self.name,))
ValueError: can not load menu tree 'applications.menu'

Anyone has some clever idea on how to get my icons back without to much hassel?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Re: alacarte totally messed up my Gnome 3 menu

Try alacarte-git from aur. Maybe it is possible to solve your problem with the newer version.
You can have both versions installed at the same time.
I never used the old version and with my gnome-shell i have no icon problems.
alacarte-git

Re: alacarte totally messed up my Gnome 3 menu

That's the one I used. Try hidde some stuff eventually it will hang and fuck up everything. Happend again on a fresh install.

EDIT: I started gmenu-simple-editor which comes preinstalled. All you can do here is show and hide icons. It somehow restored my
previous configuration. Still not working as expected. One Wine Submenu that shows up in alacarte is not shown here.

EDIT2: Always seems to happen, when I try to hide "Digital Certificates" which is some useless MS Office Icon that it puts in there.

Re: alacarte totally messed up my Gnome 3 menu

Found out something interessing and stupid at the same time.

When I hide the Icon "System Settings" with gmenu-simple-editor I can't launch the System Settings anymore, when I
click on my username in the right corner then click  on System Settings. Same thing, when I try to launch "Weather Prefs", which
is a small application for my Shell Extension that I use. It can be launched via the extension itself and has a Gnome-Menu Entry. If I hide it
i can't launch it indirectly anymore via the extension itself. How stupid is this? This adds a lot of redundancy. I don't need
a System-Settings Icon, when I can always acess it with the Gnome-Shell Panel.

Look at ~/.local/share/applications and clean it
