menu applets + libgnome-menu-3.so = crash

[Dario Giovannetti]

I'm using Arch Linux on x86_64, Xfce 4.8, Compiz 0.8.8, Xorg server 1.10.4 and AWN 0.4.0.

After upgrading the "gnome-menus" package (see http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gnome-menus/files/) from 3.0.1 to 3.2.0 (because of the release of GNOME 3.2), all menu applets, both C-based and Python-based, do not load (crash).

This is the error for Cairo menu:

And this is the error for YAMA:

"gnome-menus" 3.0.1 had libgnome-menu.so.2 while "gnome-menus" 3.2.0 has libgnome-menu-3.so

Thanks, keep up the good work!
