WindowMaker stores its menu in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu . By default, this file contains simply the line "menu.hook" which instructs it to search for the file menu.hook in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/ (which normally won't exist) and /etc/X11/WindowMaker/ (which will be found). If you have edited your menu, wmakerconf/WPrefs will have placed an actual menu structure into ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu instead of the menu.hook line. So, how do you recover? Two options: 1) If you just lost your menus on the most recent edit, you may have a ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu.bak (wmakerconf creates it, I don't know whether WPrefs does). Copy it to ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu and your previous menu configuration will be restored. 2) Change ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu back to just say "menu.hook", which will get you back to the default debian menu structure. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Mr. Slippery
