Problems with menus in KDE/XFCE
We now include a package that will take care of all the menu issues seen in the 2.10.x releases of GNOME. This package is zzz_gware. If you wish to simply correct your menu entries without downloading this pack, please see the doinst.sh source for an example of how to fix them manually. This wasn't our fault, and we did the best we could to work around the issue.

GNOME Panel Errors
