SOLVED I just restarted Compiz and everything stared working well

I am facing a very strange problem in Mandriva 2008.1 that my Microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard 1.1 is connected to device (the numeric pad key and function key indicator switch on & off in USB dongle on hitting them on & off keyboard) but the keyboard can not type anything.. the wire less mouse works well and also I have now only one desktop left (than routine 4) and the window decorations gone I feel some trouble with Compiz Fusion upate?? Mandriva 2008.1 (recently updated) Asus motherboard P5N-E-Sli nvidia 7200Gs microsoft wireless multimedia keyboard 1.1 1 GB ram

it says the solution as:-- Finally I figured everything that said legacy from update-menus -v I removed, than in /root I renamed .xdg_menu_cache and renamed some of the inputs (/var/lib/menu-xdg) than I had to run xdg_menu and finally update-menus and now the menu seems clean again.... What does this all mean to a newbie?? please tell me in more step by step codes..

kmenuedit only edits the existing list but I need to update my kmenu list so that it shows all the installed programs..

drakmenustyle already installed.. mcc does not have an updater only style can be changed.. 1. KDE/Gnome style (all packages may not be listed) 2. Mandriva style both have the same missing list..
