http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2646/xfce-menu-editing<p>Hi,</p> <p>I am experimenting with the Zenwalk distro with xfce desktop environment (the distro is based on Slackware), and I can pretty much do anything I wish... but only one problem: I tried to edit the applications menu based on advice found on <a href="http://wiki.xfce.org"></a><a href="http://xfce.org">xfce.org</a>, and it's kind of a hit and miss. For example, I installed firefox 5 and removed icecat, but when I replaced the menu for icecat and customized it so it points to firefox symlink and icon etc., now I get both icecat and firefox entries in the application menu.</p> <p>I also tried to find a good reliable GUI for editing that pesky menu, but none worked. Any help would be appreciated. I am comfortable editing on command-line and all, but I just find the directions confusing.</p> <hr> <p>Well, after 2 days, still no answer here, this must be a really lame site for getting answers... i am disappointed.</p> <p>Anyway, I found out by myself, there are two places you need to look for _<em>.desktop_ files on the file system, then you'll figure out whether you have to edit the ones in your profile, or the one shared by all users (probably somewhere in </em>/usr/shared/...*).</p> <p>You can use the <strong>find</strong> command for that:</p> <p><code>sudo find / -iname *.desktop</code></p>enTue, 02 Aug 2011 08:45:36 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2646/xfce-menu-editing/2652<p>See wiki page on <a href="http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu">Customising XFCE Menus</a>. I wonder if "xfdesktop --reload" would have helped (see "Forcing Changes" section of that page).</p>chrisjrobTue, 02 Aug 2011 08:45:36 -0400http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2646/xfce-menu-editing/2652
