hi i appear to have resolved this problem for the moment. i don't know if this is a gnome issue or the debian package itself (???), but it would seem that the upgraded gnomevfs wanted both the TryExec and URL properties set for the menu item - in addition to the Exec property which was there. i went through and set them in all the menu items and they reappeared in my menu. adding a new menu item does not add these two additional properties automatically at the moment. perhaps i upgraded to a version that has a mix of old and new. anyway... perhaps this will help anyone with a similar problem.
