possible issue with Administration Menu module

Description

I have the 'Administration Menu' module installed, the one that provides a nice bar at the top of admin pages with drop-down menus of the tasks.

Before I installed CiviCRM Theme I had 'CiviCRM' as a top-level drop-down menu item as expected. After installing this module that drop-down menu item has disappeared and it only appears in the normal Drupal left-hand menu.

Anyone else noticed this?

I was very glad to find this module otherwise though, since my public-facing theme is no good for admin pages.
Cheers!

Sorry, in case it was ambiguous I am talking about this module:
http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu

...and moments later I found the solution:

- go to admin settings for the Administration Menu module
- click the 'Wipe and rebuild' button

I love it when stuff works

actually, this fix doesn't work. After a couple of page-loads the CiviCRM menu has disappeared again

in fact it has found its way into the "e-commerce configuration > store" menu, which is an odd place for it to end up.

also the CiviCRM item has disappeared entirely from my left-hand menu

(I haven't been hacking around with my menus I swear!)

I have seen this issue (#3) with CiviCRM and Administration Menu, and have never installed CiviCRM Theme. I think therefore there is an issue here but it is more generally with how CiviCRM is adding its menu to Drupal, rather than with this CiviCRM Theme module.
