Alacarte won't work in GNOME 3.6

Hi everyone,
it seems that alacarte (both the version from the extra repo and alacarte-git from AUR) won't work on my Arch install.
It keeps deleting my menu and I need to restore it using gmenu-simple-editor (and I'm not allowed to change every entry I have in my menu this way).

Is there a way to fix that?
Here is the output, to reproduce this I just need to start alacarte and click to hide/show a software.

$ alacarte 
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.save()

Thanks,
have a nice day.
