[...] Thanks to some poking around and help from Andrew Sackville-West, it turns out some upgrade had removed menu-xdg. Reinstalling restored my precious Debian menu in GNOME. Most likely it was a particular gnome package upgrade that yanked stuff and didn't catch my attention. It shows up as removed but configured:
$ dpkg -l menu-xdg Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============================-===============================-============================================================================== rc menu-xdg 0.2 freedesktop.org menu compliant window manager scripts So, I went into aptitude and selected menu-xdg for installation, which went through fine: ...
