Note that this step will mean that you have to run update-menus as your user every time new packages are installed, the automatic mechanism won't work for that user anymore. The normal configuration refers to global files that are updated when the package postinst runs update-menus (as root). Running update-menus as the user creates these files in the user's directory, so the global ones aren't used anymore. > 4) Restart X and your menus should be back -- finger for GPG public key.
