Bug#622900: alacarte: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: alacarte
Version: 0.13.2-1
Severity: grave
Tags: experimental

Starting alacarte gives me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 37, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 33, in main
    app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv)
  File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 49, in __init__
    self.editor = MenuEditor()
  File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 36, in __init__
    self.__loadMenus()
  File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 61, in __loadMenus
    self.settings.dom = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(util.getUserMenuXml(self.settings.tree)) 	 
  File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/util.py", line 196, in getUserMenuXml
    system_file = getSystemMenuPath(tree.get_menu_file())
  File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/util.py", line 190, in getSystemMenuPath
    file_path = os.path.join('/', 'etc', 'xdg', 'menus', file_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 65, in join
    if b.startswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

Tagging as experimental, as that's most likely related to gmenu 3.
