Customisations missing after last update

[John Muir]

After the last update my customisations are missing from the root menu. I'm stumped as the last change was over a week ago and nothing seems to have changed, which is why I suspect something in the code itself. I use the normal Ubuntu update mechanism with the extra repository
http://ppa.launchpad.net/diesch/testing/ubuntu

classicmenu-indicator --version
ClassicMenu Indicator 0.09

I have attached the gnome-applications.menu from ~/.config/menus. It has not been changed from 3rd Feb 2014 and (beginning at the directory entry for 'alacarte-made-1') all referenced files /.directory & .desktop) are present in ~/.local/share/applications

The env variables are:
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/usr/share/upstart/xdg:/etc/xdg
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/ubuntu:/usr/share/gnome:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
XDG_SEAT_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
XDG_SEAT=seat0
XDG_SESSION_ID=c4
XDG_SESSION_PATH=/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Session1
XDG_VTNR=7

The configuration option "ClassicMenu Indicator" submenu, "Use alternate menu" was the problem. De-activating it solved the problem.

You might want to consider making the default for any enhancements compatible with the previous version...

Deactivate the item "Use alternate menu" in the "ClassicMenu Indicator"
submenu
