Dear Maintainer,

whenever I attempt to start alacarte with GNOME 3.34 installed,
I get the following output:

$ alacarte
/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MainWindow.py:22: PyGIWarning: GMenu was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('GMenu', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
  from gi.repository import Gtk, GdkPixbuf, Gdk, GMenu

    if not self.tree.load_sync():

The program then exits.

Cheers,

Hi Matteo!

Can you please check if you have any empty .menu files in your
~/.config/menus/?

If there are empty files, please remove them and then alacarte should start
working properly.

Also did you use alacarte before? The old version of it was known to corrupt
the .menu files, see [1]. If it still corrupts them somehow, please let me
know how to reproduce it.
