menus for wmaker 0.60
Hi I'm running slink but got wmaker 0.60 and compiled it. After installing it i tryed to run it but it would crash continually. After looking at the console i found that it was looking for a menu.hook that was referenced in WMRootMenu. The only way i could find to solve this problem was to run wmakerconf (under other wm) and save the WMRootMenu file without anything in it. The problem with this solution is that now i don't have root menus in wmaker. Does anyone know how i can recover my root menu. Thanks P.S. please cc back to me! -- Mario Filipe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://neptuno.sc.uevora.pt/~mjnf smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

Thanks menu.hook is created by the update-menus program from the menu package. When you installed the wmaker deb, it should have created a file /etc/menu-methods/wmaker that update-menus uses to create the menu. Run update-menus as root, and see if it creates the menu.hook properly for you. Then, add the single line "menu.hook" _with_ the double quotes to your GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu file to have it use that generated file. P.S. Was it really a crash, or did it just abort complaining about the missing file?
Re: menus for wmaker 0.60
Hello Mario, I encountered similar problems, only at least my WindowMaker didn't crash at startup. I replaced the reference to menu.hook with the complete path of it, it's somewhere under /etc. Find it with 'locate' :-) $ locate menu.hook And edit the file WMRootMenu by hand if you wish. Worked for me! :-) Of course, wmaker 0.60 is now available in .deb format, so perhaps it's easier to just download the .debs :-) --tim :-) On 22 Jun, Mario Jorge Nunes Filipe wrote: > Hi > > I'm running slink but got wmaker 0.60 and compiled it.

i noticed this too. After looking into the matter, i found that a simple
change to /etc/menu-methods/wmaker seems to fix the problem. I also
noticed that someone already filed a bug report, hopefully they officially
fix it soon.
My /etc/menu-methods/wmaker is attached.
