I tried to modify the Mergefile entry as follows: <MergeFile type="parent">/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/menus/xfce- applications.menu</MergeFile>
Which is the correct path, and it still only shows the entries in the local file: ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu so, I wonder if it's a problem with the Merge. I hope this helps. ubuntu 11.04 xfce 4.8.0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776469 Title: Alacarte kills the Application menu in XFCE 4.8 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
