As I just noted to another poster, the 'problem' seems to have gone away 
now.  I can't seem to replicate it right now, thus you may be correct, 
although I doubt it as I leave my box up 24x7 and see this problem now 
and again.  Then again I don't use the menu all that much either.  It's 
one of those things that you notice when it happens, but aren't 
apparently aware when it doesn't it.  Humans, always complaining, never 
appreciating the good things in life. :)

On this box it's SuSE 9.0, with Gnome 2.2.2, so I might look at building 
it from a newer version.
