 |
|
| After updating parts of Gnome (not complete yet) my app list was cleared. Is this normal? |

Yes, I updated
gnome-system-tools
gnome-themes
gtk-engines
system-tools-backends
I had to unmerge first on gnome-system-tools and gnome-themes because they were blocking packages.
I went like this to get them to stop blocking packages
| Code: |
emerge -C gnome-system-tools && emerge system-tools-backends gnome-system-tools
emerge -C gnome-themes && emerge gtk-engines gnome-themes

perhaps this is a common issue. try renaming your gnome config dirs (.gnome, .gnome2, .gnome_private, .gnome2_private) and running gnome. everything should work, even though your preferences will be lost. also, what do you have when you navigate to "applications:///" in nautilus?

"applications:///" is not a valid location.
Please check the spelling and try again. |

| I'm going to completely update gnome first and if it doesn't fix it, then I'll try anything else. |

Not if you're part way through updating the gnome-2.10. Gnome-2.10 uses a different menus system entirely, so if you're only half way there then that'll explain it. There's no "applications:///" in gnome-2.10.
Cheers,

| Yeah this I realized after updating more parts of it. There are 3 menus now and they are sorted differently. |
