Hello Florian,
thanks for your report and sorry for the long delay in responding to it.
Thank you for your response. ;-)
However, there seem to be two different issues merged into one report:
Mh, that was my first bug report at all, sorry if I mixed up a bit.

After the last upgrade there is no Debian menu displayed anymore, so
there is no link to the program anymore.
This appears to be a change in XFCE. As such I don't know whether this
change was intended or not and how to possibly restore the Debian menu.
I'm afraid you'd need to bring this up to the XFCE maintainers as I so
far haven't ever even used XFCE myself.
Yes, that is correct; I just wanted to note it. Anyway, it should be
fairly easy to get the Debian menu back. For me it's just that the only
program not in the main structure is XSkat.
It should be fairly easy to create a menu entry for XSkat in the normal
structure (XFCE4-menu > Games), ScummVM and DOSBox do appear there.
It indeed might be fairly easy (haven't checked), but I'm not eager to
special-case certain window managers for displaying a menu item. After
all, we have the Debian menu system so that this wouldn't be necessary,
and AFAIK window managers should incorporate the Debian menu system into
their own.
The Debian menu system is available in every window manager, but the
main menu is as well - I checked KDE and IceWM - and the Debian menu is
another entry into it. So it is not only related to XFCE, but to others
as well.
But I have no idea where these entries come from, maybe the
freedesktop.org-structures? I haven't found my way through this yet, as
it usually just works.
Well, and XSkat does appear in the Debian menu.
So, now I gather the aim of this report is to have XSkat appear in
XFCE's own menu structure, and thus I'll consider this as a wish for
additional functionality. Correspondingly, I'll lower the severity of
this report now. Do you perhaps have a patch for adding this?
I am afraid I haven't, but I agree with you.
Should be a piece of cake for someone familiar with the menu systems out
there. I'll have a look into it.
How should I send a patch? Just the file contents, file name and where
to put it?
Best regards,
Sebastian
