> When applying any changes to the gnome applications menu via alacarte the file - applications.menu,
> in the directory /home/user-name/.config/menus is modified (by alacarte) but no change to the menu occurs.
> (for example showing or hiding a menu item). To make this work correctly alacarte needs to modify the file
> applications-gnome.menu  to allow items to change in the menu.  This requires a simple change to the file
> MenuEditor.py in the alacarte source code replacing the single occurance of applications.menu with
> applications-gnome.menu.
> The best way to do this is to download the source rpm and extract the archive then extract the alacarte source
> and modify the file and create the new archive to overwrite the old one then use rpmbuild to build a new alacarte
> rpm module and use yum to reinstall this module. Once done alacarte works ok.
> One more thing.
> I upgraded from Fedora 15 to Fedora 17 and am running Fedora on VmWorkstation in Windows.
> After  turning off the forced fallback mode and logging off and back in again gnome 3 works in the normal mode
> except for 3-D effects. Having got used to the fallback mode this is very different and my first real experience of the
> new gnome 3 shell. Overall Fedora 17 works fine in VmWorkstation apart from some problems with mouse operations.
> For example to resize windows I can only use the diagonals not the sides and when using software like the advanced tweak tool
> menu selections act a little like x-windows menu selections requiring one to press the return key to get the menu to stay.
> Anybody had similar problems?
