For those who have deleted things not realizing how permanent and global this would be, you can revert everything by deleting `~/.local/share/applications`. I know it's not ideal, but it's better than screwing everything else up trying to fix it some other way.

That makes deleting a launcher EXTREMELY dangerous, so please - either remove the "delete" function of Alacarte, and let the user just show or hide the launcher; or fix Alacarte so the revert button actually reverts the menu to a state where deleted launchers are recovered.
