Details

Description: I'm using fvwm-crystal and I have lost most of my desktop menu after upgrade to python 2.6-2. Before I had such menus as fvwm-crystal, system, network, office, graphics, settings, multimedia, utilities, and development, but now I have only fvwm-crystal.

I have recompiled fvwm-crystal against python 2.6-2, but the problem persists.

When downgrading to python 2.5.2-5, I was able to solve the problem.

Additional info:
* package version(s) fvwm-crystal 3.0.6-1, python 2.6-2
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce: Upgrade python 2.5.2-5 to 2.6-2
This task depends upon

Hi,

I recently upgraded Python to 2.6, and the Application menu disappeared. This bug had been mentionned on this mailing list in July 2007.

It seems that "with" is a python keyword, and cannot be used as a variable name anymore.

So, I renamed that variable to "withdir" - and the bug is fixed. Patch is attached.

Xavier.
