Subject: gnome-panel: Most of the entries missing in gnome main menu

Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2006 11:42:54 +0100

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.14.3-3
Severity: important

Hi,

After upgrading from gnome-panel 2.14.3-3 to 2.14.3-4, all the applications
related entries in the main menu are no more displayed.
Reverting to 2.14.3-3 fixes the problem.

Regards

Jean-Luc

Do you remember what was in the .config/menus directory?

Paolo, Jean-Luc: if you have a .config/menus directory, I'd like to see
its contents. If it's not too big, please attach it to the bug report.
I'd also like to know how it was generated, e.g. with alacarte or
something else.

Thanks for your input,

I still have a .config/menus.
You will find it attached.


I've no idea  how it was generated or updated (update-menus from a  
postinst script ?)

It had several *.menu files if I'm not mistaken. Now it has just one (it
goes in attachment). It was generated by the update-menus program.
