So, I was fooling around with the menu-editor app from AUR and somehow managed to kill my GNOME Applications menu. I open the menu to show only "Run Application.." and nothing more. Does anyone know of an easy way to recover from this... (ie. restore menu to what it was when I installed GNOME) without having to reinstall every GNOME package?
If not, how do I add menu items without using any sort of editor? I'm not familiar with the menu layout and .desktop files.

you should be able to remove the .gnome and .gnome2 directories. You will lose ALL gnome settings though, but if your desktop is unusable..

I moved those to a different directory and yes my settings were gone, but my menus are still empty. Maybe I should just reinstall all the GNOME stuff.

The menus are located in ~/.config/menus, so deleting gnome profiles won't help much. If everything works as it should, you also should have fucked up KDE and XFCE menus with your menu editor program

I solved the problem by deleting ~/.config/menus and reinstalling the packages I wanted items for. Now maybe I can study the files and figure out how to add and remove items without any editor.
