I'm running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu and have been trying to get Crossover Office (again, the 64 bit version) installed. What I keep noticing is that, after installing Crossover and Office 2007, the menu items are never created for the Windows apps. More accurately, 5 menu items for each app get created, but all are just thrown in the "Other" menu and hidden by default.
In an effort to get menu items to appear, I tried something I saw in another forum thread that had me install menu and menu-xdg. I didn't notice any difference with respect to Crossover, but suddenly the population of my "Other" menu has exploded. It looks everything that I have installed has suddenly been given a menu item in that menu.
Is there anything I can do (short of reinstalling) to at least get back to where I started? Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated. I've got this thing pretty borked and loathe the thought of reinstalling the OS.
Thanks.
