I was adding some menu extras and my now my non 3rd party extras don't work (ichat status, volume, displays, etc.) Most of my third party one still work except for a few. Most resently I installed DOckjector, and mumenu. mumenu dosnt work but dockjector does. I also used dockless to remove dockjector from the dock.
Has anyone else experience this or have any ideas?

Remove (back up first) /Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

Then logout/login. This will reset your menu extras and you can readd/reconfigure them. I've seen this file get screwed up before, and this is the only (simple) way to repair it.

HTH,
