"Other" top level menu disappears randomly

Binary package hint: xfdesktop4

There is an "Other" menu with my wine applications in it, but it disappears from time to time.

Initially not all items are displayed in the menu (an example would be opera), it should be displayed in internet->more and even stranger after opening menu several times the whole category (internet->more) just disappears! (some other items also disappear but this is just an example)

(for trying to reproduce I am using this version of opera: http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/snapshot-4268/ though I do not think the version matters and other apps are missing or disappearing as well)

I am using mandriva 2009.1 version 4.6.0 with some patches from 4.6.1

I have 2 different install one on my laptop (64bit) one on my desktop (32bit) both exhibit the same bahaviour of the more menu entry disappearing but the initially missing apps are different..

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. Since you reported this against a development version of Xubuntu Karmic, Xubuntu 9.10 has had many changes since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Could you verify if this does still exist?

If this issue still happens, are you using compiz?

Thanks for confirming that this is still an issue. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments at: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5278

This also effects me. Other menu is there when first logged in, but then will randomly disappear at some later point.

I am not using compiz, I am using xcompmgr however.

I am still experiencing this annoying bug in 64-bit Lucid.

My workaround is to remove the XFCE menu button from the panel and then add it back again to restore the Other sub-menu.

I am not using compiz.

I also have this problem on Xubuntu 10.04 32-bit, no Compiz.

Reaffecting to garcon, as libxfce4menu is being replaced by garcon in natty.

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

It should be fixed in natty.
