You originally said "panel item", which confused me. The *menu* items are not tied to the panel in any way. You can shut down the panel or remove the foot icon (which *is* a "panel item"), and still have access to the menus through (e.g.) your window manager. So, I thought you were talking about launchers, which *are* panel items. Launchers are created with Panel->Add to Panel->Launcher. For launchers, the tryexec field does *not* affect the visibility *or* the operation of the item. (That last, I suspect, is a bug). Anyway, now that I finally understand what you're talking about, I agree with you. And yes, the tryexec field of a *menu* item does control its visibility. And, after creating a new test account, I see that the *launcher* I was complaining about no longer gets created by default. The one on my panel is an artifact of an older (buggier) version of Gnome. Which certainly explains why you didn't know what *I* was talking about. :) So, hopefully we're all on the same page now? Launchers and menu items are two different things?
