I am not as skilled to use strace, however it is probably not panel
question but generation of menus. I am always trying out with new users
and clean configurations and also with present users.
Do you know where is the Gnome applications menu saved?
Which program is updating the Gnome applications?
I think it is in /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu but inside I see:
<LegacyDir>/etc/X11/applnk</LegacyDir>
<LegacyDir>/usr/share/gnome/apps</LegacyDir>
which are basically not present at all. The directory /etc/X11/applnk is
not existent. The directory /usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications contains
only two entries and /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu belongs to
package gnome-menus.
update-menus does not fix it.
Further I don't know if gnome-panel is really reading
/etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu
Do you have now some other idea?
Armando
