That's already reported:
http://www.blastwave.org/mantis/view_bug_page.php?f_id=0001826

However, Ken currently doesn't seem to have a clue why that happens. But
for a final release IMHO it is _very_ important to get that fixed.

You mean, "no items are listed"? That's exactly the reason why you have
to specify the

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/csw/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/opt/csw/etc/xdg

variables in your /etc/dt/config/Xinitrc.CSWdesktop right before the
gnome-session is started. As soon as you have those variables set, the
application menu will be fine.

Again: For a final release of GNOME 2.14 the gnome_dtlogin package
definitly needs to be updated. So is the currently maintainer of it
"Michael Gernoth" already aware of it? In the meantime I have filed a
bug item for him on that very issue.

cheers,
jens
