that sounds like a bug, then? (the extra </menu> ... I realise this is very hard to track down... what I was thinking might be helpful, though, are things which would mitigate the disaster if it happens again... e.g. have the system make a backup of key files like applications.menu before it makes a change which substantially alters its size.
Or ask the user before making drastic changes to "vital" files... after all, it's not likely that I'd want to erase my applications menu, so if it looks like it's about to happen, maybe check with me first? After all, it didn't actually uninstall all my applications, so there has been a disconnect in the process somewhere, where it removed all the icons from the menu but didn't touch the apps (thankfully!) I'm not sure how to get a single file out of a package.. but I'm sure google can tell me :) Thanks for the info.
