To clarify further the problem, after several hours editing the menus with LXMenuEditor, here are the first few items in my applications menu, hand typed out in Gedit and pasted here. This is as far as I can get with LXMenuEditor. (Hope the tabs make it in the e-mail.): Run Program ------------------ Terminal emulator <harmless, but I don't need this> File Manager <ditto> Mail Reader <ditto> We Browser <ditto> ------------------ Settings Settings Manager ------------------ Accessibility Appearance Bluetooth Bluetooth Manager Desktop Display Keyboard Mouse Panel Power Manager Preferred Applications Qt4 Config Session and Startup Settings Editor Window Manager Window Manager Tweaks Workspaces Xfce4 Printing System Settings Accessories Add/Remove Software Back in Time-KDE Logical Volume Management Network Device Control NVIDIA X Server Settings Service Management Software Update ----------------- Accessories <Note this is the second Accessories menu> About Myself <40 more entries, many of which belong in a Settings folder, which I do not have> Documentation <two entries> Education <four entries, all my special programs, of which one is duplicated and I can't find the duplicate to delete it> Games <I want to delete this entire folder. I made every entry I can find "not visible," yet two still appear.> Graphics <a folder that is actually correct> Internet <ok, but has three entries for Chrome and two for Claws-Mail and I can't find the duplicates> Office <a folder that is actually correct> Programming <contains six items, and I can't find any of them to make them not visible> Sound and Video <a folder that is actually correct> System <contains over 50 apps, a third of which should be in Settings, if I had a Settings folder The wiki refers to moving files here and there, but I don't have any of the files it refers to. The wiki has no information about what to do if the files don't exist. For example, the wiki says "To create a new sub-menu, add a new “Menu” element to your ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu at the same level as the other xfdesktop sub-menus like “Graphics." Fine, but I don't have a ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu file. I don't have any idea where XFCE is getting the information it is using to display the application menu above, and the wiki doesn't say. _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce
