Hi Shawn,
Yes I have menus. The applications menu has sub-menus of games,
internet and system tools. Those menus don't have all the applications
that have been built and installed on the system though. I looked at the
variables and where they are pointing. The XDG_CONFIG_DIRS points to
/etc/gnome/xdg. In that directory there is a menus directory which
contains what looks like XML files with a '.menu' extension that "look"
like they are building the menu on the fly. If that is accurate some of
the lines point to wrong directories. Am I close in thinking this? Does
your XDG_CONFIG_DIRS variable point to the /etc/gnome/xdg or the menus
directory in it (or somewhere else)?
Thanks,
Arnie
