Install new version of Fedora Core. 2. Reboot, login. Discover that my KMenu has been trashed: http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/kmenu-1038am.jpg 3. Run the following command as root: "rpm -e --nodeps redhat-menus" 4. A few seconds after the command finishes running, my KMenu is back to normal: http://www.afolkey2.net/Projects/kmenu-1039am.jpg Unfortunately, some official Fedora Core updates depend on redhat-menus. So if I exclude that RPM in my yum.conf, I don't get those updates (I assume) So, what I have to do is run "rpm -e --nodeps redhat-menus" whenever "redhat-menus" is reinstalled during a "yum update" Again, this might not be your problem, but based on how your KMenu looks, and the fact that it got hosed after an update at least makes our situations look similar. Rex: a few weeks ago this problem seemed to be fixed. But then it just started happening to me again. I looked for the thread where you and I discussed this issue, but I could not find it. I have no idea when "redhat-menus" started going back to destroying my KMenu.... Have a Great Day, Steven P. Ulrick -- 10:36:32 up 5 days, 15:46, 3 users, load average: 0.33, 0.33, 0.50
