Menulibre should not be used on ubuntustudio, it does not deal with the 
system menu configuration files correctly. It uses the default menu 
template as it's base rather than what the system happens to be using. I 
personally feel ubuntustudio should not ship any menu editor as alacarte, 
while it does work ok, still does not do the whole job. Menu configuration 
as actually quite complex and a menu editor is almost impossible to 
properly test. Unfortunately menulibre replaces the whole system menu with 
it's own (wrong) version. Even if it was right, any addition or change to 
the system menu after that will not show up either (such as adding wine).

Title:
  ubuntu studio menu items disappear after adding new launcher

Status in MenuLibre:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu Studio:
  Invalid
Status in ubuntustudio-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In ubuntu studio 14.04.2, menulibre 2.0.4 installed with apt-get.
  After having added two new launchers in Audio Production menu every other ubuntu-studio specific menu item disappeared. What remained is the Audio Production category containing my new launchers. Other category-items like accesories, electronics, development etc look good.
  There is another person having the same problem here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/532277/categories-vanish-when-using-menulibre-in-ubuntu-studio .
  It's frustrating as I don't know an easy way to rebuild the menu as it was, given the fact that many applications were installed after default installation.
