yes, i rebooted the system after removing the nvidia driver and that's when
i got the menus back.  i reinstalled the driver again to make sure that was
the problem and after installation no menus.  i removed the driver, rebooted
and got my menus back.  i thought that was some strange behavior, but my
system runs better with the ubuntu video driver.  since i don't use desktop
effects and i don't do 3d, using the ubuntu driver is the way to go for me.

cheers,
dwain
