Sorry for taking so long to respond - I kind of forgot about this one. One way you can stop an item from apreaing in the menu is to delete the file for that item in /usr/lib/menu. But when you upgrande the package, it will probably be back. You could try creating an empty menu entry, and see how that works.Margot wrote:
Did you remember to run "update-menus -v" as root, after installing or uninstalling software and before running menudrake? Or, "update-menus -n" if you're not interested in seeing the output, but as you're having problems the "-v" option would probably be more useful.
Also, in menudrake, select Menu Style and choose the "Original menus" (the bottom option on the list) - I've never managed to get any of the other styles to work!
Or, for a more radical solution, abandon KDE, use Xfce instead, and add Trigger Launchers to the panel for the applications that you need to use regularly.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, but I realized this morning that I didn't provide enough information.
What I'm attempting to do is to essentially create a stripped down default menu, edited so that ONLY my list of preferred menu items are shown.
Also, in the event that someone launched menudrake in the future, the most they would ever get (under any circumstances) would be the new default menu which I had created.
I know that there has to be a menu list somewhere, since many of the Linux distributions use their own customized menus, and that's what I'm attempting to do as well.
That way, anytime I install Mandrake for anyone, I can use this new menu as the default.
So, in essence, I am trying to replace Mandrake's default menu with one of my own creation.
Thoughts? Ideas? Inspirations?
P.S. - Good Morning Margot!
Now, for some more reading on the topic, you may want to take a look at /usr/share/doc/menu - you will find a lot of information there, including pointers to the /etc/menu and /etc/menu-methods directories.
Have fun... Mikkel --
