Hi list!

I just installed the new menu-cache 0.25 and lxpanel 0.4 from sources 
over a Debian Lenny installation, hoping it would end the no-menu problems.

Still no luck: lxpanel shows no menu except the run dialog entry, so

# killall lxpanel
# lxpanel
...
** (lxpanel:15369): DEBUG: cache file_name = 
/home/demo/.cache/menus/98ca4e23f92d67ffcd7400928aa554a8
lxpanel : X error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
lxpanel : X error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
lxpanel : X error: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)

# /usr/libexec/menu-cache-gen -i /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu

(menu-cache-gen:15377): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_path_get_dirname: assertion 
`file_name != NULL' failed
segmentation fault

-----------------
The same error reports a Suse 11.0 user in the forum.

Actually I've *never* managed to get the new menu system running. 
Neither in Slackware nor in Debian - no matter what version of 
menu-cache. Each time compiling the fresh stuff from sources no menu 
appears. (trying for some months now from time to time, to see if it got 
better)

The old menu w/o menu-cache was by far more reliable - it simply worked.

That daemonized reading - caching - refreshing - displaying thing is 
much too over-engineered for my taste. That's what I understand you did 
with the new menu.

A simple read - display /usr/share/applications every 2 minutes is fine 
imho.

Back to old lxpanel 0.3.8.1 from the Debian repos.

Strongly disappointed
