Description Palm Pre 2011-06-05 21:44:01 CEST 
Description of problem: I install WindowMaker on a top of GNOME. It doesn't list any application. 

I mentioned similar problem in a bug 100. Attachment 76 [details] (https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=76) has an image. It looks just the same now.

How reproducible: Just one box


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia 1 task-gnome-minimal
2. Install WindowMaker WM.
3. Look Applications -> Applications in menu

Test this, as root:
su
/etc/menu.d/WindowMaker

then try again.
Comment 2 Palm Pre 2011-06-06 01:05:55 CEST 
That was it. It fixed the problem.

I can confirm that here. After I install WindowMaker using «urpmi windowmaker» start it using startx, and press the right click on the desktop to pop up the context menu, then I get an empty applications menu.

I'm not normally using Window Maker however.

This problem should be fixed in cauldron by running a menus update in the post install script. I first thought it was caused by something else, so I hope that first fix doesn't cause any new problems. I don't consider this bug important enough for an official update since it is solved by installing an application with a menu entry, or running the menu update manually as shown in comment 1. In cauldron I updated windowmaker to a new upstream 0.94.0 so if this version fixes some other problem(s) I might upload it as a backport. Closing as wontfix.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX

I don't see 0.94.0 on a box with backports repositories enabled. It is 0.92.0-26. 

Btw, I installed WindowMaker on different box. Menu was empty and this bug was closed. I had to find a bug using the search engine.

Is it possible to search closed bugs in bugzilla?

Christiaan, maybe reconsider the update ? :)
