Gnome menu disappeared from Cairo Dock

...after today's update which included a lot of gnome elements. I had to use it even though I have XFCE because due to Pythin issues in Arch no other menu system for Cairo Dock works.

Anyway, the button that used to launch gnome menu disappeared from my dock and I miss access to most of my programs. Why did it happen and how to remedy it?

Re: Gnome menu disappeared from Cairo Dock

Probably downgrade of gnome-menus will help.

The cache contains only current version, running downgrader produces this

$ downgrader   
Segmentation fault

and searching manually through ARM is a nightmare.

Re: Gnome menu disappeared from Cairo Dock

In installed gnome-menus2 but how do I now add the menu applet to the dock? I can't find anything in CairoDock config.

Re: Gnome menu disappeared from Cairo Dock

you can downgrade  gnome-menus
use tar to save     /usr/lib/libgnome-menu.so      /usr/lib/libgnome-menu.so.2  /usr/lib/libgnome-menu.so.2.4.13
and then upgrade gnome-menus, extract the three files to /usr/lib (of course you needn't do this, we just need
that 3 files)

then edit the ~/.config/cairo-dock/current_theme/cairo-dock.conf
Line 282: add "GMenu;"

Enjoy~

Re: Gnome menu disappeared from Cairo Dock

I installed menus2 and then found an option in Cairo Dock to re-add the menu aplet. I don't know if it was there before or did it just appear after this installation. Anyway, it's working now.
