Which window manager/desktop are you using? For example, I use KDE. If I create an empty ~/.menu/<package> file, that menu listing will be removed from the Debian section of KDE's menu. However, KDE also seems to use it's own menu system which ignores ~/.menu/, even though it appears to have generated it's menu list from the /usr/lib/menu/ entries. These KDE specific menu entries (which on my system are pretty much a double up of the Debian menu entries) can be removed/edited locally by each user using KDE's Menu Editor. I imagine that some other window managers have similar behaviour (GNOME maybe?). Perhaps this is why empty ~/.menu/<package> files aren't working for you? Matt
