Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 15.04.

apt-cache policy alacarte returns:

alacarte:
  Installed: 3.11.91-2
  Candidate: 3.11.91-2
  Version table:
 *** 3.11.91-2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Last night I was removing some applications I wasn't using, via Synaptic.  I don't remember which applications I removed exactly, but as soon as I did, alacarte suddenly broke.  When I try to run it on the command line, I get this error:

jesse@jtg-ubuntu:~$ alacarte

(alacarte:4378): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accel_label_set_accel_closure:
assertion 'gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure (accel_closure) != NULL'
failed

    self.editor = MenuEditor(menu_basename)

    if not self.tree.load_sync():
GLib.Error: g-markup-error-quark: Error on line 1 char 1: Document was empty or contained only whitespace (1)
jesse@jtg-ubuntu:~$ 

Also, clicking the "Applications" menu will not display my list of
applications.  Nothing shows up.  However, clicking "Places" right next
to it works perfectly fine.

I'm using GNOME Flashback (or was it GNOME Classic?  Forgot the exact
name), dunno what version.
