Well, the “Settings” category is intended to be common (well, in fact, it's intended to not be DE-specific). All Xfce-related settings are in the Xfce Settings Manager (which you can find in the settings folder) (here there's even a separator between the Xfce Settings Manager item and the rest of the settings) > > > > That's not possible.

No, it won't be back. If 4.8 supports the “merge” attribute, then I'll try to integrate that, but the Debian menu is inconsistent with pretty much everything. The right way to do it is the freedesktop way (cross desktop and cross distro). If the debian menu works, fine, but I don't want to invest time if it doesn't. If the application doesn't ship a .desktop file, the correct thing to do is to ask upstream for it, and have it shipped in the debian package meanwhile. > > if it's possible, also some temporary patch to 4.6 would be really > welcome. That's definitely not possible. Menu handling is completely different between 4.4 and 4.6, and the 4.8 doesn't exist yet, wait for it. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
