But under Xfce, I can not bring myself to use it due to its 1537 dependencies. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=alacarte&stype=all Thanks guys. jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I started looking at this a while ago, this is incomplete but could get you started. I am sure there was a page in the xfce wiki about customising menus. What I found is you start by right clicking on the application menu and show properties where you can change from default to custom file menu - ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu matches the default and is an xml file. There is also some info that comes from the applications desktop files. I think the categories field links them to the matching category entries in the menu file. This is where newly installed apps just show up. Look in ~/.local/share/applications and /usr/local/share/applications for the *.desktop files - I believe the home dir versions override the /usr ones but haven't looked at what gets overwritten by reinstall etc. You can also use alacarte. Should be in ports, you then just right click to edit the menu. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
