Anybody notice the menubar missing from apps after the latest GTK
update ?

This upgrade seems to have broken many packages. In my case, multi-gnome-terminal failed to start, leaving an error message in .xsession-errors. Apparently the same bug was reported here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%23461410
and repeated here
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461415

The former link provides a workaround which worked for me:

Hi all,

can you confirm that adding:

Section "Extensions"
Option "MIT-SHM" "no"
EndSection

to your xorg.conf works around this?

Thanks,
