in gnome-menus 3.0.0 the System category was dropped and i think that is related to that.
Comment 2 Francisco Pina Martins 2011-05-03 15:26:41 UTC 
In my system alacarte works fine, with gnome 3 fully up to date...

Drop settings.menu since it’s not provided in gnome-menus anymore.

Here is a patch from Debian, which fixes this bug.

Note that this patch should only be used on systems with >=gnome-menus-2.91.6 (the earliest version that dropped settings.menu).

Please commit to head. Might need minor changes due to switch to gobject introspection.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
