Subject: menu-xdg: Makes GNOME menu disappear

Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 11:11:04 -0300

Package: menu-xdg
Version: 0.2.2
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I upgraded from version 0.2.1 to 0.2.2 and started noticing a funny effect in the GNOME menu. When I open the foot menu (applications), the contents are visible, but after a split second the menu is reduced to a tiny empty widget with no contents and only a few squared pixels area.

I also tried restarting the gnome-panel, to no avail.

I switched back to version 0.2.1 and the problem was gone.

Hello Javier,

Did you upgrade to 0.2.2 while running GNOME ?

Could you retry to see if it happen again ? It looks like a race
condition between update-menus and the GNOME menu update mechanism. In
this case it is not something that can be fixed inside menu-xdg.

Do you have files in ~/.config/menus or ~/.local/share/applications or
~/.local/desktop-directories/ ?

Cheers,
Bill.

I did, indeed.

I did and it seems to be in order this time around.

Who should address this issue in your opinion?

Just debian-menu.menu.

gthumb-usercreated.desktop  menu-xdg/  mimeinfo.cache

menu-xdg/ contained a bunch of files.

This one did not exist after downgrading to version 0.2.1 but it does
exist now back with 0.2.2.

Thanks for your time,

Probably gnome-panel could be more robust.

So you have ran update-menus manually as a user after the upgrade ?

upgrading menu-xdg alone should not affect your home directory.

No, I haven't.

> upgrading menu-xdg alone should not affect your home directory.

The first time I attempted the menu-xdg upgrade I also updated the menu
package along with it. Maybe that caused update-menus to be run, or
somehow my personal menus to be modified?

Should I avoid running update-menus in the future, lest I end up without
menus :)

Subject: menu-xdg: The same problem in KDE

Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 12:18:13 +0900

Package: menu-xdg
Version: 0.2.2
Followup-For: Bug #343469

On my testing sytem, I upgraded the system with dsesect today
and menu-xdg was upgraded (0.2.1->0.2.2) in a process but I 
found that there was no Debian menu in the main menu of KDE
after upgrading.

Then I found this bug report and tried to upgrade menu-xdg outside
KDE and I got Debian menu again.

You said

> > Who should address this issue in your opinion?
> Probably gnome-panel could be more robust.

but seeing that KDE has the same problem i guess this might be
a bug of menu-xdg.  Isn't it possible to fix this annoying problem
inside menu-xdg?

Subject: menu-xdg: makes GNOME Applications menu disappear

Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 21:46:38 -0400

Package: menu-xdg
Version: 0.2.3
Followup-For: Bug #343469

This package is a dependency for K3b, but when installed, the GNOME 
Applications list appears for a half-second & then disappears. Places 
and Desktop menus are unchanged. Please advise a workaround if one 
exists. Thank you.
