Hi folks,
I installed a new application (not from repo), and there is a *.desktop file in
/usr/share/applications.
But I the new application does not appear in the menus of plasma5/kde.
How can I force, to recreate the menus in plasma5? I tried "update-menus",

Hi,
I only have access to the menus generated by update-menus if I
start wmaker as root.
When starting wmaker as a normal user no menus have been
generated.
I have tried running update-menus both as root and as user.
What will I have to do to make them available to the normal user?
TIA
Hi,
Is there a way to tell update-menus to ignore a whole subtree of the menu?
Perhaps by changing translate_menus?

Hi
this wasn't the problem, the problem was that update-menu didn't generate
personalized menu (in '$HOME/.enlightenment/...'). thanks anyway.
if anyone's interested here's how I've solved it:
1. copied /etc/menu-methods/enlightenment to ~/.menu-methods/
2. commented out 'onlyrunasroot=true;'
