It's nice to know I'm not alone. I had exactly the same problem and I 
was panic stricken. I've reinstalled Linux 5 times over the past few 
months (I'm learning more each time....).

Fortunately I figured this one out and I came to the same conclusion 
that you did. My answer was to reinstall the original package...

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/redhat-menus-1.4.1-1.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh redhat-menus-1.4.1-1.noarch.rpm --force

I was back in business and heaved a huge sight of relief.
