Help,
Since installing Ubuntu 8.10, I have 'lost' the type of menues that I  
prefer.
 Have been using the "panel Menubar' (the top one on 'standard' desktop)  
with text entries of
"Applications". "Places" and "System" on all versions of Ubuntu Linux  
prior to V 8.10.
I started with V 5.? so I am not familiar with menues previous.

Now with V 8.10, I have lost the text entries and they are replaced by a  
single icon.
It does work however it requires going thru multiple steps to arrive at  
the item I want.
The former "Applications". "Places" and "System" words/texts got there  
much quicker.
I prefer the text version, sorry to repeat.

How does one get to the "text' version menuebar?
The online help still states that the "text' version is available but I  
can't find it in V 8.10.

If this is not the place to ask, then point me to correct place.

Thnks,
Steve
