Well I was hoping to know more about exactly what it is you want to do. :) Anyways, this is just what I gather from fixing a couple things in my own menu on FC4test1, so don't quote me as any expert. Firstly, this the the canonical specification from the horse's mouth, and the best resource: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-0.9.html If you want to totally replace the menu with a custom designed one: (you can use existing files as templates, they're easy to read so you should) 1. Place your custom .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ 2. Place custom .directory files in /usr/share/desktop-directories/ 3. Write a custom .menu XML file in /etc/xdg/menus/ If you just want to override or add a single entry, then place a copy (with the desired modifications) in ~/.local/share/applications/ If you want to add "legacy entries" just put the path between <LegacyDir/> If you want to cut an item out you can place its .desktop file between <Filename/> and <Exclude/> If you want to merge whole sets of different menus in, write their .menu file then place it between <MergeFile/> Well the above is just the basics, and probably not complete, but I think one can easily handle it from there. :) Cheers, Ryan _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
