Current xfdesktop from CVS has its menu screwed up. Did 3 installs on 3 differents systems and got the bug all the three times. 1) System is running gtk 2.2 2) Users are migrating from a 4.0 version 3) No $HOME/.cache/ was present prior to the install 4) Removing $HOME/.cache/ fixed the problem on one of the systems and crashed xfdesktop on another one.
Created attachment 57 menu errors on one system
Created attachment 58 Log displayed while menu is broken
Created attachment 59 Menu broken on another system for another user
Created attachment 62 possible fix This may be the same as bug 320 - try this patch and let me know if it fixes the problem.
I'm not sure if the patch fixes that particular issue (I did update, but the bug not necessarily alwas show) Anyway, it seemed to work. In any case, I'm all in favour of applying that patch (and remove gtk_main_iteration() calls that generate all kinds of weird problems IMO.
fixed in CVS (presumably).
