Bug#645470: alacarte: completely broken: cannot add nor menus nor items

[Norbert Preining]

Package: alacarte
Version: 0.13.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

neither "New Menu" nor "New Item" buttons are functional, that means
it is useless.

Log in the terminal screen:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"

I tried to create a new menu called
	"Local"
that didn't succeed. Then I tried to create an item called mailatfobar
that also did not succeed.

Enjoy
