Very handy and faster than editing files by hand. I see no such buttons in Debian. What am I missing?Which WM do you use? I assume Gnome. Gnome's default menu editor is alacarte, you can find it in the Gnome menu at 'System" -> "Preference" -> "Main Menu".
Thanks for the reply.Gnome is correct, but there is no Main Menu under "Desktop -> Preferences". There is a "Menus and Toolbars" selection, however it has nothing to do with editing menu items. BTW it looks like "Desktop" has replaced "System".
"Help" talks about creating a "XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/applications.menu"in $HOME, supposedly to define a menu entry, and while it looks doable, it also looks like I would be opening a bucket of worms.
I forgot to include the fact that I'm running 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486. Sorry.
