I had this experience yesterday and thought I'd throw out to the list how I fixed it to. Hopefully to save someone else the agony I went through.
I was adding an item to the KDE menu yesterday when I got interupped. I had already added the submenu. I came back to the system and closed out menudrake, forgetting I had a blank submenu sitting there. Suddenly nothing worked on the panel, my KDE Control Center was empty, and the popup menu was missing most everything. Needless to say I paniced. I could still pull up Mozilla so I went searching the archives for "missing menus" Found the answer "update-menus -v" however, that kept erroring out. Finally after studying the output of update-menus I figured out it was telling me there was a blank menu entry that was screwing up everything. I reloaded menudrake from the CLI, removed the entry, reran update-menus and everything was back as it was before. So, lesson learned, if you put in a menu entry, never leave it blank. If you're not going to use it, delete it. -- Chris Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 11:36am up 2 days, 16:58, 2 users, load average: 0.13, 0.13, 0.15 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once upon a time there was a DOS user who saw Unix, and saw that it was good.
