        It is very disappointing and I can tell you it cost me over an hour and 
half
of lost time and productivity yesterday trying to repair the damage done. I
guess there is no testing done anymore before this stuff is released, but the
problem is becoming serious from the standpoint of the amount of lost time and
productivity it is causing.

        Have you been able to identify what package blew away the menu entries 
yet? I
did find that all of my custom menu entries and mysteriously been dumped into
the heretofore empty 'Applications' submenu.

        Now what bit of coding would have removed all menu customizations and 
moved
them to the Applications submenu? Anybody??
