The who to tell is bugs.mandrake.com. The Anthill bug reporting system is getting listened too so it would be a first stop for sure. The cure for lost menu's First verify that /etc/menu/menudrakeentry looks something like. ?package(menu): needs="kde" icon="applications_section.png" section="/" title=".hidden" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): command="superkaramba" needs="x11" icon="Cola.xpm" section="Configuration/Other/" title="Super Karamba" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="/" title="Exit" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/" title="Window Maker" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/Window Maker/" title="Appearance" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/Window Maker/Appearance/" title="Background" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/Window Maker/Appearance/Background/" title="Gradient" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/Window Maker/Appearance/Background/" title="Images" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/Window Maker/Appearance/Background/" title="Solid" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/Window Maker/" title="Information" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/Window Maker/" title="Selection" charset="ISO-8859-1" ?package(menu): needs="wmaker" icon="applications_section.png" section="Session/Window Maker/" title="Workspace" charset="ISO-8859-1" Note the title lines if they are "" instead of whatever things go bad. Anything you put in will get stuff back.
