Bug Description

When listening to DBus indicator-appmenu communication, we can see that some applications (like gedit, gucharmap) export some hidden empty menu entries. Those entries seem invalid. Found while the test_panel test_hovering_indicators_on_multiple_monitors autopilot test was failing.

For instance, the following menu was exported for my charmap application instance:
