Help,
Since installing Ubuntu 8.10, I have 'lost' the type of menues that I
prefer.
Have been using the "panel Menubar' (the top one on 'standard' desktop)
with text entries of
"Applications". "Places" and "System" on all versions of Ubuntu Linux
prior to V 8.10.
I started with V 5.? so I am not familiar with menues previous.

Now with V 8.10, I have lost the text entries and they are replaced by a
single icon.
It does work however it requires going thru multiple steps to arrive at
the item I want.
The former "Applications". "Places" and "System" words/texts got there
much quicker.
I prefer the text version, sorry to repeat.

How does one get to the "text' version menuebar?
The online help still states that the "text' version is available but I
can't find it in V 8.10.

If this is not the place to ask, then point me to correct place.

Thnks,
Steve


right click top panel > add to panel
the custom ubuntu menu bar is called "Menu bar"
add this, and you should be back to the applications / places / system
arrangement

incidentally, running
rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/panel
will reset the panels to the distro default arrangement
