Every time I restart my machine, menubar items that aren't movable by Command+Drag (like Desktop Manager and Meteorologist) aren't clickable. The standard Apple widgets work fine, but I have to launch the corresponding apps of the others in order for them to start working.
How did this happen and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
Jason

Are these apps listed in your Login Items (Jaguar) or Startup Items (Panther)?

Yes. Apps with a menubar item that I launch after I've logged in do not act the same way. They act normally.

Well, I actually have both of those apps in my Startup Items as well...
Do you get the beach ball when you mouse over them, or are you just not able to click on them?

I don't get a beach ball; they're just not clickable. The workaround has just been to, without quitting the apps, relaunch them. That solves the problem.

Is there a SystemUIServer.plist? Maybe try deleting that.

In your startup items, is the hide box ticked? I've found that meteo and stuff are unclickable when hidden. Worth a try.

You're the man!
That fixed it, although I have no idea why they suddenly started being unclickable. I'd always had them hidden in the past.
But anyway, I'm back in business.
