I don't understand what you mean, could you give more details steps on
exactly how to reproduce this?
Comment 3 sangu 2004-03-18 10:45:35 UTC 
1. /usr/share/applications/@foo.desktop
@foo.desktop file is "ln -s foo.desktop taget_diectory/foo.desktop."
2. target_diectory/foo.desktop file is disappeared(or removed).
3. So @foo.desktop file is not linked.

#startx

4./usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libmenu.so fails to read @foo.desktop
5. gnome-panel is crash.
