But makes perfect sense if you understand how it works. The problem is that there seems to be no way of deleting the application starter that was created. I think also that arguments can't be passed at that point... however... > However, I manually edited a panel launcher and one main menu entry to > "xfce4-terminal --maximize", both work, but surprisingly is one entry, > because I didn't edit Accessories > Terminal Emulator, but it's also set > to "xfce4-terminal --maximize". System > Terminal still is ok. Nope, two files... stored in two different directories even. The one for the panel is used in only one place. The one in the menu, however, may show up in more than one place because you are editing something that is already in more than one place. However, If I create a new menu item, it ends up in other and I don't seem to be able to move it. I am thinking why this may be, but it hasn't come to me so far.... :) alacarte, I think, has some limitations. It seems from looking at the ./config/menus/application.menu file, that any new items created will all end up in "other" unless specifically added (by name) somewhere else. alacarte does not add a category to the desktop file so it can't sort itself by other means. I can't say how much of this is "by design" (most of it I'd say) and what may be a bug. However, I do not think this is an xfce problem. Xfce seems to be doing what the files alacarte created are telling it to do. I can not see any reason (from what I know about merging menu files) that more could not be done.
