The default system-level menu is /etc/X11/desktop-menus/applications.menu. A custom user-level menu would be found at ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications.vfolder-info. If the second file exists, it will be used to create the menu, rather than the applications.menu file. If all your modifications are to that file, back it up, copy applications.menu to your vfolders directory as applications.vfolder-info and sync up any changes that were made. If the system-level menu was changed and not overwritten during the upgrade, you'll need to get the new applications.menu file out of the redhat-menus package. Quickest way may be to move the current applications.menu file and reinstall redhat-menus, then compare the two files and restore whatever changes you want to preserve. For some more info on how the menus are built and how to change them under 8.0/9, see http://www.bluethingy.com/linux/rh8menu.html -- Michael Knepher <limbo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
