Adeskbar disappeared [Solved]

Today I updated 2011.09. Reboot the system and disappeared adeskbar. I tried reinstalling, but
adeskbar
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/adeskbar", line 52, in <module>
import adesk.bar
File "/usr/share/adeskbar/adesk/bar.py", line 12, in <module>
import ui
File "/usr/share/adeskbar/adesk/ui.py", line 10, in <module>
import gmenu
ImportError: No module named gmenu

I have exactly the same problem. Googling for a solution lead me to this thread. If I find a fix, I will come back and report it here.

Thanks,

EDIT - This seems to have something to do with an incorrect PYTHONPATH variable. I don't have anything assigned to that. Should I?

I removed adeskbar, and when I went to reinstall it, it was gone. According to the maintainer's notes - it has been removed from Archbang.

What replaces it? I tried tint2, but that is more of a 'status bar' only, and contains no application launcher that I can see.

adeskbar -check
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is solved by installing gnome-menus2
This dependency is dropped by the update of another program but it is needed by adeskbar.
Like issue with the openbox-xdgmenu this is solved by doing:
packer -S openbox-xdgmenu

If you only use adeskbar you don't need to install openbox-xdgmenu, that is installed after gnome-menus2.
gnome-menus2 is enough to get adeskbar working.

If you have deinstalled it get it back here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=26910
packer -S adeskbar

Thank you pablokal, glad to get my adeskbar back!

Yes, I have the same; I'm very attached to it, although I start most of the applications with dmenu or keyboard shortcuts.
It is more a visual thing, that it feels a bit barren without it.
