Bug#920226: gnome-menus: No menu categories displayed in budgie-desktop

[David Mohammed]

Package: gnome-menus
Version: 3.31.4-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 1.1

Dear Maintainer,

   Testing on Ubuntu Budgie 19.04 which has a patched version of v3.31.4-2 currently in Sid 
demonstrated a serious issue in budgie-desktop.  No menu categories were visible.
   
I then refreshed my Buster installation with the latest packages and confirmed that v3.31.4-2 had not yet migrated.
Budgie Desktop correctly displayed menu-categories.

I then downloaded the Sid version v3.31.4-2 gnome-menus and installed the binary.  Immediately no menu categories were visible
when the menu applet was opened.  I rebooted to confirm that the issue is still present.

I've marked this as Serious after consultation with Jeremy B (the last uploader of the package).

I have also tried reverting the "Sundry" menu handling in budgie-desktop - Sundry is a menu category that
has been removed by the new version of gnome-menus.  This has not resolved the issue.

Thus the problem is not immediately obvious to be due to budgie-desktop.
