Its a problem with gnome as far as I can tell and as I was using Mint Linux
3.0 at the time (the Gnome based version) I haven't reproduced this result
so far with the later version of Mint Linux 4.0 (KDE based) based upon
Ubuntu 7.10. or with Kubuntu.
(Mint Linux is apparently an Irish invention
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I wanted to install a photo management package and used Synaptic to
install Gtkam and, although some of the packages necessary weren't
authenticated, went ahead with the install. The main program selection
menu disappeared from the Mint 3.0

Thanks Sebastien
I was able to add the Gnome start-up buttons (in my case Applications,
Raccourcis, Sytème) but somehow its not as nice as Mint Linux look. In fact
I've had this happen a couple of times with Ubuntu in the past and there
still doesn't seem to be a bug fix that I've heard of.
