Comment 18 for bug 269150

I have done a fresh install on my new Acer Aspire one (120 GB HD) and have the same problem as shown in the screen shot above. When the menu loads it looks perfect, but then when I mouse over it all the text goes away.

I have run:
bzr branch lp:~netbook-remix-team/netbook-remix-launcher/clutter-0-8-intrepid

but when I run the autogen script I get the following:

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for DEPS... configure: error: Package requirements (clutter-0.8
                  clutter-gtk-0.8
                  clutter-x11-0.8
                  glib-2.0
                  gthread-2.0
                  gobject-2.0
                  gtk+-2.0
                  gconf-2.0
                  pango
                  libgnome-menu
                  gnome-desktop-2.0
                  libwnck-1.0
                  libstartup-notification-1.0
                  ) were not met:

No package 'gconf-2.0' found
No package 'libgnome-menu' found
No package 'gnome-desktop-2.0' found
No package 'libwnck-1.0' found
No package 'libstartup-notification-1.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPS_CFLAGS
and DEPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I have confirmed that all the things listed are installed, what can I do to fix this problem? Or when can I hope to see an updated .deb package?

Thanks for this thread, I have found it very insightful.
