See Eric Harrison's post re: a quick fix: https://www.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2003-October/msg00430.html
Actual bug was that redhat-menus was not in the BuildRequires section of the specfile, so the build farm here at Red Hat didn't install it, and therefore there were no .desktop files to package up in the RPM. Will be fixed in 1.1.0-3.
