after updates from the 4th or the 5th, my applications menu has been empty. running update-desktop-database parses through all the .desktop files but says "lacks mimetype key" for each one:
[root localhost ~]# update-desktop-database -v Search path is now: [/usr/local/share/applications, /usr/share/applications] File '/usr/local/share/applications/marlin.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/local/share/applications/gnome-mud.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/xfce-panel-settings.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/redhat-evolution.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/gnome-default-applications.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/gnome-session-properties.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/gnome-devhelp.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/gnome-dasher.desktop' lacks MimeType key File '/usr/share/applications/gnome-bug-buddy.desktop' lacks MimeType key
etc.
anyone else seeing this? i'm not sure where to put a bugzilla entry.
***sorry for the second send, i just noticed that it ended up RE: some other topic in the archives for some reason.

Just to let you know "me too". Ive been waiting for the fix for a few days (this happened before, but was fixed within a say or two that time.
I don't know if everyone is affected, but there has been someone on he list claiming to have some new menus working.
You might put a bugzilla on the redhat-menus package, though it is likely another package causing the problem. (I notice that there is a missing mime types message in certain places).

- Is gnome-menus and redhat-menus installed? What versions?
- What version of gnome-panel is installed?
- Do you have $XDG_DATA_DIRS or $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS set by any chance? (You shouldn't)
- Do you have a ~/.config/menus/applications.menu ? What does it contain? If you move it aside, does it fix the problem?
- What's the output of:
$> MENU_VERBOSE=1 gnome-menu-spec-test
Thanks, Mark.

Well, patience won out! This morning I downloaded updates and now have 3 menus and all are populated. (I lost up2date, though). I now have only RPM and popt that have dependency issues.
