Old Gnome menus not being fully recognised

[Mark C]

Hi,

I've just done a fresh install of Hoary, and then installed my usual 
apps I tend to use, some of these generally put menu items under

/usr/share/gnome/apps/

Yet in Hoary, the menu is failing to pick them up correctly and just 
putting them all under Other, even though the menu structure has changed 
and will keep changing, would it be possible to maintain backwards 
compatibility?

One of the main culprits, is Crossover Office, there are several apps 
that I use, that are windows based (Internet Explorer, as I do we 
development and must test sites under this as well), once installed 
under Warty, it used to put a Menu entry, under the main Applications, 
called 'Crossover Office', this has now gone and the menus that used to 
be there have gone under 'Other', and also when you install any program 
under this, it used to put the new Items under
'Applications | Windows Programs',
this is stored in the users v-folders directory.

It would seem that the new system (whether Ubuntu or Gnome) has broken 
the old compatibility.


Could this be confirmed on who's side this may lie with,
so a bug (if it truly is) report can be entered.
