It is easy to have new programs show up in the menu in Xfce.
1. Install the new program (either from within your enabled
repositories or directly from the program's web site [e.g. Ubuntu
Tweak, Dropbox, etc.])
2. Determine where the "execute" command is located; often this is in
a "hidden" file in your home folder
3. Open the Settings Manager, click on Main Menu, and navigate to the
folder in which you want the program to appear (Accessories,
Development, etc.)
4. Click on New Item. The Create Launcher dialog box will appear.
5. Enter the program's name; often this will be sufficient and all the
other necessary information will be automatically added
6. If this information is not added, you will have to manually add it
yourself
7. Once all information is added and you have clicked on Create,
scroll down the list in the folder and look for the program
8. Make certain that a) the program is checked and b) the name appears
in regular font (not italicized). After checking the program, you may
have to wait a few seconds for the program's name to appear in regular
font
9. At that point, when everything is done, close out the Settings
Manager and go to your Applications menu and the subfolder in which
you placed the new program. Find the program and click on it to make
sure you have entered all information correctly and that the program
starts normally. (If it doesn't, you'll have to go back and start all
over again)
10. If you wish, you can create a Launcher in your bottom panel for
the program
I hope that this information is of some use to you.
Often an icon isn't used by the Xfce menu or entries can't be sorted in
the order I want them to show up etc. pp., i really need to know where
the config files are. I already know how to configer the Xfce menu this
way.
"Main menu" is the app named "Alacarte". The funny thing is, that
Alacart does show the correct icons and the wanted order of the apps,
but what you see for Alacarte, aka main menu, isn't what you get for the
menu, at least not all the times.
ALACARTE rarely works for me. According to it, I have a normal XFCE
menu. When I open main menu, I actually see something closer to
ubuntustudio default menus...
So I don't even use it. I have mapped the [win] key on my laptop to
xfrun4 and just launch everything that way...
