M6 Mint Menu's bug? [solved]

[locutus]

When I click on Felicia, none of the first five menu items in the top-left-most column work. Nothing happens: no error messages or File Not Found, just, nothing! These include Computer, Home Folder, Network, Desktop & Trash. Can anybody confirm this? Or if not, can you suggest a fix?

Shoul not happen
Right click the Menu button (now named Menu I believe) > Reload plugins
This usually helps

[locutus]

No change.
I reloaded the plugins, then re-installed mintmenu and mintsystem, then rebooted. Same lack of effect.

Remove and add the menu back in is also known to help (Right click panel)
Going through some topics I notice that you have a "height problem" too, but I don't think it's related
The links to the far left are a bit special
The only thing I know of is in gconf-editor the key /apps/mintMenu/plugins/places
execute_app is to be set as nautilus

OK, you gave me some links to investigate to see what different values did to the menu's. The file "%gconf.xml" in /home/doug/.gconf/apps/mintMenu/plugins/system-management fixed the height problem. I set the "height" variable to 220; fixed.

The other problem I had with the menu's (in another thread) was the Computer, Home Folder, Network, Desktop and Trash items had no effect when I clicked them. Here is the "%gconf.xml" file located at /home/doug/.gconf/apps/mintMenu/plugins/places that seems to be the mis-behaving file. I've included it here rather than the other thread because it seems like the two problems are related. Can you see anything below that would cause that (lack of) behavior? Maybe a "false" should be "true", or something?
Thanks.

Well, this was pretty stupid -- and I have no idea how this got passed the installer -- but nautilus wasn't even installed. I certainly didn't uninstall it. Assorted nautilus-* were installed (like nautilus-actions, etc) but the main nautilus package wasn't. So, everything's as it should be now. Thanks for your help with the menu height problem Husse. I hadn't even known what gconf was for until you pointed it out.

Nautilus was not installed????
What the
This is in many ways a backbone (like all default file browsers)
I can't imagine it was not installed from the beginning....
