If there is no launchers.xml file present, Advanced Launcher must ask you to create a new launcher (stand-alone or file launcher). If it is not the case, the problem must come from elsewhere. Are you sure it was not initially a skin related problem?
My assumption was that renaming deleting launchers.xmlwould force advanced launcher to have to re-add every game which might at least bring me back to a normal kind of screen so I got a backup of the file (ofc!) and then deleted it, but to no avail. I get the same empty screen whether or not I have launchers.xml or not and I can't do anything on that screen, f.ex add a launcher. All I can do is leave it and go back to Home Menu.
You suggest skin related problem. The problem seems to persist even when I change skin, for example to Transparency which is supposed to be Advanced Launcher compatible.
edit :
Whatever caused the problem, I fixed it with reinstalling and backuping the old launchers.xml so this mystery is over for me.
