[Typo3] Blank menu in backend

[Todd Ellison]

I know someone will be able to answer this without all of this 
information, but I'm going to include as much as I can anyway.

I had just finished the install of Typo3 on a new server running CentOS4 
and was installing the extensions and playing with things to get the 
configuration I like.  At the same time, someone else was working on 
getting another app running on the server and found it necessary to 
downgrade from PHP5 to PHP4.4.0.  When we were finished with this 
downgrade, I logged into Typo3 again.  No errors that I could see, but 
all of my menu items on the left except a few were blank. The icons were 
there, but the text was not.  The items which remain are 'Template', 
'Images', and 'phpMyAdmin'.  Even the logout button has no text.

I tried downgrading PHP to 4.3.11, then to the RPM of 4.3.9.  Same 
results.  I even tried wiping out the database, removing both the source 
and dummy directories, and starting over again. Again, the same thing 
happens.  I removed all of the temp files using the install tool and 
cleaned up the database.  Didn't seem to help either.

Just went back to PHP 5.0.4.  That didn't fix it either.  Does anyone 
have any idea what might be causing this behavior?

Thanks
