           Summary: Gnome main Applications menu panel applet not visible
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gnome-applets
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: pete at shinners.org
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


The "Applications" menu under the main panel is not visible. I can view the
"Places" and "System" menu without error, but "Applications" will flash briefly
then show as an empty menu (a tiny 4 pixel-ish box).

I've tried accessing the menu different ways, but it always has the same
results. From the brief flash of the full menu, it does look like all the
entries are there. But they disappear before any input can get to them.

This is a recent Dapper system, gnome-applets 2.12.2-0ubuntu1. Although I saw
this bug in the previous gnome-applets as well.

I have used the menu editor to create a few new items in the menu, but those had
been working for a few months before this bug. I'm not sure of a good way to
debug this, I could probably clear any custom menu settings? Selecting "Edit
Menus" does bring up the editor, and the entries look ok.
