Linux Mint Mate Menu Issues

[Caltrop]

New Computer, new Linux Mint, new problems...

I see the Mate Menu is still messed up as ever.

New apps don't install menu items so it has to be done manually.

I got some Wine items added to the menu & tried to move them around.

Now I have a BLANK Menu!
Can not edit the menu anymore either, wow...

here's what mozo gives me:

Code: Select all

caltrop@dragon ~ $ mozo
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.

Was it OK when first installed, or was like this? Did you check the hash on the downloaded ISO to insure it was OK?
