When I go into menudrake as root, the panel for Available Applications
contains all the missing packages. However, when I go into menudrake as
user, the Available Applications panel is empty.
I can call up the applications if I open a terminal, but I'd rather have
them on the user menu so I don't have to remember the commands! How do I
get these Available Applications moved over to the user menu rather than
just root? I've tried 'update-menus -v' as both root and user, but it
makes no difference.

Phil,

Thanks for the reply, but I've already tried menudrake both as root and 
as user. The items I want to add to the user menu only appear in the 
'root' version of menudrake - what I need to know is how to transfer 
this list of applications to the 'user' version of menudrake, so I can 
add them to the user menu.
