Broken GNOME Menu

[Steven Pasternak <stevenp500@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi! I have a quad-booting system (suse,debian,fedora,mandriva) and a 
/home partition I tried to use for all of them. I normally run the FC4 
part, but with the new release of mandriva 2006, I tried it. Now that I 
changed back, my menu is totally messed up. I deleted ~/.local, and now 
I have no applicaitions menu!!! The Places and Desktop menu are fixed, 
but applications is just 'run application'. I made a test user on my 
system, and his menu is fine. I deleted all of the /tmp/*steven* stuff 
and ~/.gconf* and most of ~/.gnome2 (all except rhythmbox and panel2.d). 
I have tried rebooting, but still no menu. I have had a similar problem 
with gnome 2.6 a long time ago, and I can't remember how to fix this. 
Any suggestions? Thanks!
