Well - its silly, but I still don't get how each user can customize "Debian Apps" using menu - I know that it is possible to overwrite some menu entry in ~/.menu (or ~/.menus) but I still don't know how to _add_ some new menu entry :( Bilbo

If you take a look at /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker, you'll see that's just a sh script that creates the directory if it doesn't exists... > Until now I knew that I have to edit menu.hook file. Editing menu.hook is bad, really bad. Unless of course you mean you "cp /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/menu.hook", and you *don't* run update-menus. > Unfortunatelly right now I don't have any of such file - and I think > that's good - but also I don't know where to put my own menu items. Ok. You can a) edit ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu and change "menu.hook" to, say, "my_menu" b) Create a file "my_menu" in ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker; you can optionally include: "Debian Apps" OPEN_MENU menu.hook somewhere in the menu. c) (as root) cp /usr/lib/menu/wmaker /etc/menu/wmaker and edit the /etc file removing anything you *don't* want in the "Debian Apps" menu, for example, the Exit commands under WindowManagers, or the WorkSpaces command under WorkSpace... be creative, and send changes and suggestions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] d) (as root) run "update-menus" and voílà, you have the menus the way you want them. e) Optionally, if you want to add your own items to the "Debian Apps" menu, create files in /etc/menu/ for the items you want there. (And read the menu documentation -- you have menu installed, don't you?) Marcelo

Try /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook that is the menu on my system that I edit. You can change what menu you point to I believe if you want a customized one for each user.

Yet another WindowMaker question...
Hello, I'm sorry for such trival question, but I'm really stuck. I just deleted my ~/GNUstep directory, and now I don't know how to customize popup menu. Until now I knew that I have to edit menu.hook file. Unfortunatelly right now I don't have any of such file - and I think that's good - but also I don't know where to put my own menu items. I don't see here any of documentation for such thing like "Adding new menu item" - please point me to docs. Thank you in advance, Waldemar Żurowski PS. I have ii wmaker 0.17.3-1 Yet another window manager. This the next st
