Can't uncheck any alacarte item under gnome3

1) Launch alacarte 2) Click on the checkbox of any checked item, ie uncheck. Results: Checkmark clears for about 1 second and then reappears. Cannot uncheck the item. 3) Find an unchecked item. Click on the unchecked item. Results: Item will be checked. 4) Click on the Item checked in step 3, ie uncheck the item Results: Checkmark clears for about 1 second and then reappears. Cannot uncheck the item. This basically renders the menu editor non-functional. Running Fedora 17 with alacarte 13.4
What are you checking/unchecking? A directory? An application?
This would certainly be any menu item pointing to an application in the gnome main menu. I have not seen any 'Location' (ie directory) menu items in the default main menu, and trying to create one causes a segfault (but thats another bug...). In any case it is not possible to uncheck any application in the main menu.
I am confirming this non-functionality. Steps to reproduce are the following: 1. Activate alacarte. 2. Toggle the radio-box for a program (e.g. Calculator). 3. Wait approximately 2 seconds. 4. Watch the radio-box for a program that was previously marked with a check before you toggled its radio-box. It will re-toggle itself, returning to a check.
This should be fixed in git master now.
