no applications menu
Hi
i'm running gnome 2.10.2 from debian testing.
i have no idea what i did (don't actually recall doing anything) but
i've lost my gnome applications menu. the places and desktop menus are
fine. the applications menu displays nothing at all - it previously
worked ok.
i notice that it does in fact expand for a split second and then
nothing. the applications menu item itself remains highlighted.
the contents of /etc/xdg/menus looks as i think it should
and /usr/share/applications still has all the menus items in it. i'm
stumped. googled for a bit and only found a post relating to v2.9 which
suggested adding an entry in .xinitrc - either way it didn't work.
i have another almost identical setup on another box and i've compared
the files/dirs i think might be relevant and i can't see anything wrong.
i tried it under user root and its the same result so i don't think its
a permissions thing.
i'm stumped!!
any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
Takis
