Comment 2 for bug 3010

I can confirm that this bug exists. Just tested on latest Dapper.

There are many ways to partially bypass this bug:
- Install 'menu' (but its not the Ubuntu menu)
- Show automatically updating Ubuntu menu that contains a lot of empty items (using .icewm/menu)
- Hand pick parts of the Ubuntu menu (using .icewm/menu)

More details and sample .icewm/menu config on

Is there a way to hide empty items icewm-menu-gnome2?
$ sudo apt-get install icewm-gnome-support
$ icewm-menu-gnome2 --list /usr/share/desktop-directories/
