I am having trouble with the Gnome Applications menu.
The problem is not present at boot-up. It appears for no apparent
reason, sometimes weeks after bootup.
I click on "Applications" in the tool bar at the top of the screen.
The drop-down list of applications appears.
I hover over any of the
ad no effect.
Any other suggestions?

After some further testing, I will install the Debian

This turned out to be a hardware problem.
The DVD-R was connected with a 40-wire IDE cable.
I replaced it with an 80-wire IDE cable at it worked fine.

Is it Sarge that gives you version 4.2.1.1 ?
If so, would Sid have 4.3 ?
