From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031009 Description of problem: Upgraded from Redhat 9 + Garnome 0.27.1 to Fedora Core 0.95 via ISOs. After upgrade & starting Gnome, Applications menu was completely empty. Eventually I hit upon a workaround: I moved the existing .gnome2/vfolders directory away to a different place and restarted gnome-panel. This gave me the default Applications menu back, though of course I have lost the customizations I had done to the menu contents. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.4.0-3 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Can't truly reproduce the conditions before the upgrade, but this did happen to more than one user account on the system. Additional info:
I've experienced this too. Never used Ximian. Under Red Hat 9 I had replaced my default-modules.conf with the with-menu-editing version. On upgrading to Fedora Core 1, all the applications in my Gnome Menu had disappeared! I did get them back by replacing the default-modules.conf installed by the Fedora installer with my previous working copy (backup saved by the Fedora installer).
This probably has something to do with a change what happened with the vfolder/menu gnome-vfs module between RH9 and FC1. Moving to gnome-vfs.
We no longer use vfolders or gnome-vfs1.
