Do you mean the ones right at the top of the menu, above "All Applications"? There are a couple of ways to get rid of those, the easiest (if not the cleanest) if you have root access is to look for their .desktop files in /usr/share/applications, and remove the "X-Sun-Quick-Start" category from the Categories= line. Similarly, to make other applications appear there instead, add the X-Sun-Quick-Start category to their .desktop files. (Obviously, doing either of these things this way will affect all users on your machine... the more correct per-user fixes involve doing some funky stuff under ~/.local/share, but I don't remember exactly what off-hand.) > When I look at the Menu configuration options available in the "Main > Menu Editor" I don't see these items. Yeah, as yet we haven't patched that application to allow proper editing of the quick-start menu items. Sounds like a nice little project for somebody out there :) Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:calum.benson at sun.com GNOME Desktop Group http://ie.sun.com +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems
