If you are looking for a file named .desktop, you CANNOT see it with "ls"
You will have to use "ls .*" to see files whose names begin with a "."
The shell does not match file names beginning with a . when it expands the *, and ls follows the same rules.



you didn't understand me. When we speak about menu editing we speak not about file named .desktop but files with extension '.desktop'


[thedogfarted@yarrow thedogfarted]$ cd /usr/share/applications
[thedogfarted@yarrow applications]$ ls
fedora-gnome-alsamixer.desktop  mail-notification.desktop
fedora-hdspconf.desktop         mozilla-compose.desktop
....



and what do you see now??

if i open /usr/share/applications i can't see any .desktop files too, that's because nautilus displays the names specified in those files.

I asked this question a week or so ago. Youssef Makki was kind enough to provide me with this short exchange on the subject of adding items to the menus by hand. I have not tried these modifications yet, but here is the info I have:

That's determined in the .desktop file itself, take the xchat one for example:

Categories=Application;Network;

This would make it show up under Internet -> More Internet Applications.
Add "X-Red-Hat-Base;" to the categories, and it'll show up in the main
Internet menu.



Hi Andrew,

I wasn't able to find any .desktop file!
It isn't in my /usr/share/applications.

Thanks,
Nino
