Package: menu
Version: 2.1.21
Severity: normal

Hi Bill,

/usr/lib/menu/xbase-clients provides an entry for a program called
Bitmap. At the same time, GIMP's and CinePaint's Debian menu file
specifies the hint "Bitmap" to contrast with the other commonly used
"Vector" hint (eg. Inkscape and xfig).

However, the Bitmap folder is never created by update-menus and only the
menu entry for bitmap the program is. Worse still, CinePaint and the
GIMP disappear altogether from Apps/Graphics.

I've confirmed this bug in both the Debian menus for GNOME and Fluxbox,
so I doubt that this bug is a menu-methods script issue but a problem
with the backend itself.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
