This is a "me too". It is very easy to reproduce this issue. I did it in a virtual machine. After installing ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso and adding xfce4 via apt- get, no ~/.config/menus exists for an xfce user.
After starting alacarte and quitting it immediately by hitting <ESC>, the directory ~/.config/menus is created with two files: settings.menu and xfce-applications.menu. Immediately the xfce applications menu is no longer available exactly as Andreas described. I think I found one workaround: After having started alacarte once, I did: cp -p /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu ~/.config/menus For the time being every thing seems to work. I really hope that someone cares about the bug. Gerd P.S.: This does not happen in Xubuntu 11.04. The reason is _very_ simple: Xubuntu does not include alacarte, so there is no chance in Xubuntu to utilize one of the major features of Xfce 4.8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776469 Title: Alacarte kills the Application menu in XFCE 4.8 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
