New version of the package broke links home,desktop,computer etc. from the menu. If I restart X applications menu disappera, after gentoo restart it reapper again :D Reproducible: Always
If you read the ewarn, this is kind of expected. I've added a note to the migration guide that menus might disappear immediately during the upgrade process. Thanks for reporting.

Ok, what versions of gnome-session and gdm do you have ? You should have gnome-session-2.26.2 if you don't use gdm-2.26. Could you also print what the output of $ env | egrep XDG once you are logged in ?

The Applications menu in Gnome 2.26.2 appeares to have changed its path name from /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu to /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu At least, a symlink made it all work againg for me.

Please rebuild gnome-menus-2.26.2, also it seems that even though you are using gnome-session, XDG_MENU_PREFIX isn't exported as it should. Could you list what's under /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ (ls -l). There should be a 10-xdm-menu-gnome file in executable mode.

there is no reason the variable would be unset according to what you paste. Please add -x at the end of the shebang of 10-xdg-menu-gnome then attach your .xsession-errors, it should show us what going wrong.

what happens if you replace export XDG_MENU_PREFIX... by $command="$command XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-". I haven't tryied it but the idea is that agents usualy print their env variables once started to stdout so it is in the context of all the following commands in the $command variable.

So, it appears to work fine if you export XSESSION=Gnome and have *no* .xinitrc. If you want a custom .xinitrc, then you need to actual export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- in it directly, as the system files in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d are *not* sourced.

I think this is not a particularly elegant solution, but whatever. The documentation must also be updated: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml#doc_chap2_sect2
ebuild and migration guide updated, writing up something for gnome-config doc but my desktop failed on me so it'll be not before wednesday.

If they are using kde with no xinitrc they will still have this problem.

If you have a fdo compliant menu editor, it should be able to add items from gnome just fine though.

Some1 fix the broken links?
In conjunction with enlightenment, the bug remains even after logging out and in again. Reason: The environment variable DESKTOP_SESSION is "e16-gnome" not just "gnome". With this /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/10-xdg-menu-gnome, it now works for me, too: if [ -z "$XDG_MENU_PREFIX" ] && test -n "$(echo "$DESKTOP_SESSION" | grep "gnome")" then export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- fi
