Description:

Some updates ago all items from System menu in E17 disappeared. Theese contain rather vital items like Shut-down, Reboot and so. Deleting .e directory didn't help. Searching Google showed, that some kind of patch is necesary to be aplied, more can be read here:debian-devel-changes@lists.debian.org/msg231742.html"> http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-devel-changes@lists.debian.org/msg231742.html especialy the part starting with: * Add debian/patches/02_fix_default_config_for_upgrades.diff:



Additional info:
* package version(s) e-svn 38570-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Just open the menu by clicking at e logo at panel and you'll see the System submenu is not-expandable, for it is empty. You probably should have E17 installed for some time, as the debian guys say it concerns only users upgrading from older versions.
This task depends upon

The system menu entry is not a menu anymore, it should popup a dialog with buttons to shutdown etc.

Users with old installations had problems with it because these functions went into a new module called 'system controls', which was not automagically loaded on old configurations.
Can you check that you have this module loaded?

So, the modul is loaded and the Not-menu-anymore thing is clickable. It causes something which tries to look like some crippled dialog to appear. But it is only 1cm wide and the only seeable thing is a part of cancel button in the middle of it.

if it appears only partly it is probably the acompanying edc file which has something wrong in it being it a new 'module'. What kind of resolution are you running?
Comment by Nicky726 (Nicky726) - Wednesday, 14 January 2009, 22:32 GMT
1400x1050, native for display.
Comment by Ronald van Haren (pressh) - Wednesday, 14 January 2009, 22:57 GMT
I can't reproduce it on 1680x1050, nor if I lower the resolution. I took a quick look at the default theme (default.edc after extracting default.edj), but I did not find anything obvious to change without having the problem myself.

I assume you have tried this with a clean config? If so maybe filing a bug upstream or posting on the enlightenment-devel mailing list will help you any further. I'll keep the bug open for now, maybe someone else has better ideas or the same problem

Running with clean config again worked. Thanks for help Ronald. Consider it solved.
