I was playing around with WPrefs in WMaker, and went to the menu section and accidently selected to create my own menu's.
It wiped out the default menu system, so I lost all the system admin type apps.

Anyone know how to get that menu system back ?

Thanks

Open a terminal window and use the following command as normal user:

cp /usr/share/WindowMaker/plmenu ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker

Then try WPrefs again.

If you've got the Debian menu installed (aptitude install menu), you can add "External Submenu" in WPrefs, point it to /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook and name it "Debian menu". This way, you can edit Window Maker's menu to your liking and you'll still have access to the Debian menu.

EDIT:
If the above doesn't seem to help, try removing ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu first.

Thanks for the help. That did it.
I did have to remove WMRootMenu first and then I saw the change in WMPrefs.
I restarted WMaker and it was back to normal default menu's.

Much thanks.
