Here are the contents of the xfce-applications.menu file: ********** <!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd"> <Menu> <Name>Xfce</Name> <!-- Read standard .directory and .desktop file locations --> <DefaultAppDirs/> <DefaultDirectoryDirs/> <DefaultMergeDirs/> <Include> <Category>X-Xfce-Toplevel</Category> </Include> <Exclude> <Filename>exo-file-manager.desktop</Filename> <Filename>exo-mail-reader.desktop</Filename> <Filename>exo-web-browser.desktop</Filename> </Exclude> <!-- Add stock tarball installs to menus --> <AppDir>/usr/local/share/applications</AppDir> <Layout> <Filename>xfce4-run.desktop</Filename> <Filename>exo-terminal-emulator.desktop</Filename> <Separator/> <Menuname>System</Menuname> <Separator/> <Merge type="all"/> <Separator/> <Filename>xfce4-about.desktop</Filename> <Filename>xfce4-session-logout.desktop</Filename> </Layout> <Menu> <Name>System</Name> <Directory>qubes-System-Tools.directory</Directory> <Include> <All/> </Include> <Exclude> <Category>X-Xfce-Toplevel</Category> <Category>X-Qubes-VM</Category> </Exclude> <Layout> <Filename>xfce-settings-manager.desktop</Filename> <Separator/> <Merge type="all"/> </Layout> </Menu> <!-- Read in overrides and child menus from applications.d --> <DefaultMergeDirs/> </Menu> *************** In /usr/share/applications I see: kde (folfer) kde4 (folder) screensavers (folder) gnome-mimeapps.list kde-mimeapps.list mimeapps.list mineinfo.cache xfce-mimeapps.list Does that reveal anything? What should I be looking for within this location further? Thanks... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
