I was showing a friend how menudrake worked last night and selected the Save icon without making any changes. After which my KMenu no longer shows any entries (other than 'Run command', 'Lock' 'Shutdown'...all my program entries are gone!
I searched the archives to and found some similar situations that were apparently fixed by running 'update-menus -v' as root. However, I get the following output showing the command aborting (only the first half of output is shown, but the gist can be seen): [EMAIL PROTECTED] trey]# update-menus -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] trey]# Update-menus[4811]: Dpkg not locking dpkg status area.

I'm really hoping to get my menus back. Editing menudrake now does not bring them back either. :-( Hope someone has the answer. Thanks. -- Cheers, Trey --- At a given moment I open my eyes and exist.
