Gnome Applications menu not working.

[cwc]

I just got done going an emerge world.
tma ~ # emerge -uDNav world
All went well. Except for the my sticky "Gnome Applications" menu is empty.

Any ideas?

Due to bug #256614, you might loose icons in applications menus.
If you use a login manager, please re-select your session.
If you use startx and have no .xinitrc, just export XSESSION=Gnome.
If you use startx and have .xinitrc, export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-.

really, i have done that to solve it.
Select System->Close session->relog into gdm by selecting gnome in it->everything was back to normal.

export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-

I thought this solved the problem. Each time I $startx I have to $export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- to get th "Applications" menu to work.

Is this normal or is there something else I need to do?


here is my .xinitrc

Code: Select all

cwc@tma ~ $ cat .xinitrc 
exec gnome-session
cwc@tma ~ $

you could always put that export statement in your .xinitrc

dont know that it's anything more than a hack, but it should work.
