May be the same, on new 11.10 installs had to place valid, (copied from 11.04), applications.menu and settings.menu in
~/.config/menus

Sorry to spam - this seems to be a gnome-menus issue and not a dupe of the above mentioned bug
gnome-menus should install both an applications.menu and a settings.menu to /etc/xdg/menus
Then when alacarte is run they will be created in ~/.config/menus

For gnome-shell I believe it was decided to change from gnome-applications.menu to applications.menu, you just need to include a settings.menu

affects:

alacarte (Ubuntu) → gnome-menus (Ubuntu)

settings.menu is deprecated in GNOME3 so alacarte needs to be updated

Changed in gnome-menus (Ubuntu):
importance:	Undecided → Low
affects:	gnome-menus (Ubuntu) → alacarte (Ubuntu)
Changed in alacarte (Ubuntu):
