I was having the same problem using Xubuntu after I installed this package. This happened even after installing straight from source from the gnome site.

What I found is that it appears that the alacarte package is actually dependency on package gnome-panel. Simply installing gnome-panel it fixed this problem.

Hope this helps,

PS. I installed all the dependencies from gnome-panel one at a time to see if maybe you just needed something from one of gnome-panels dependents... Unfortunately it did actually need gnome-panel and all of it's dependents to work correctly.
