	Just to let you know "me too".  Ive been waiting for the fix for a few
days (this happened before, but was fixed within a say or two that time.

	I don't know if everyone is affected, but there has been someone on he
list claiming to have some new menus working.

	You might put a bugzilla on the redhat-menus package, though it is
likely another package causing the problem. (I notice that there is a
missing mime types message in certain places).
