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
ok, I can confirm that my own ~/.config/menus/applications.menu existing
but being currently empty indeed leads to alacarte terminating.
I wish to report a possible cause though for the emptiness.

manager.
Namely, I
If ~/.config/menus/applications.menu exist, but it is empty, alacarte
will terminates.

I just ran into this - it seems pretty brain-dead that opening the menu
editor will kill your menus without warning when you don't have any disk
space (which happens from time to time) and not offer any way to recover
them, except by deleting some magical file that you're extremely
unlikely to
Rejecting, alacarte should not hide the fact that the user has done
something that will make them unable to even login if they don't fix it
before logging out.

I had the same problem. But the fixes you have suggested did not work

Perhaps this is an issue with disk space? Can the original poster
confirm if there was limited available disk space when running alacarte?
The information I can glean from the stack trace is that the menu file
(normally at ~/.config/menus/applications.menu) existed but was empty
(already).
BTW, to recreate the menus, simply remove the personalised menu file
like so:
$ rm -f ~/.config/menus/applications.menu
And rerun alacarte:
$ alacarte
It will hopefully recreate your menus from the system-wide defaults.
If the system-wide defaults are broken too, try reinstalling the gnome-
