Blank Internet Category in Alacarte 0.13.4-4

[ferdinand326]

I was attempting to change some internet bookmark applications icons (Google Chrome). Alacarte crashed and when I opened it the "Internet" section was blank. It returned this error:

#alacarte
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 354, in on_menu_tree_cursor_changed

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/types.py", line 43, in function

gi._glib.GError: Error opening file: No such file or directory

Please help.

I just encountered that errors after upgrading from F10 to F17.
I just wiped ~/.local/share/desktop-directories and it seemed to work fine now. I'm thinking it was looking for a laucher icon file that wasn't there. But was before I upgraded my system.

So use the command:
rm -Rf ~/.local/share/desktop-directories
