Comment 3 for bug 1299216

I have the same problem seemingly:

menulibre crashes reproducibly during startup with:

gtk_menu_attach_to_widget(): menu already attached to GtkMenuButton
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/menulibre/MenulibreApplication.py", line 2217, in do_activate

    return GLib.markup_escape_text(text, length)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 77: unexpected end of data

Does anyone know of a workaround or fix?
