Or something else? Yeah, a notice in the NEWS file or something like that would probably be a good idea. I've been copying around the same wmaker config since 1999, so who knows how that got added in the first place.

So it seems like the issue was that the WMRootMenu in your home directory was no longer pointing to the correct file. Do you think the correct fix to this bug would be better documentation for the change? Or something else? Thanks! Doug

I suspect that whatever the "fix" was for bug 868431 somehow broke things. Thanks for your report! The goal was to replace the old Debian menu with a new freedesktop.org-like menu, but obviously something isn't working! What are the contents of your ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu and /etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu? Does the file /usr/share/WindowMaker/menu.hook exist? Is it a symbolic link to /etc/GNUstep/Defaults/plmenu.Debian? (For some reason, they're not showing up in the filelist [1], even though they ought to...) Thanks again!
