Re: Adding item to the menu (GNOME)

whichever you want. their names matches treir contents quite well (at least i haven't had any problems of determining which desktop entry is which menu item)

open them with vim (or whatever text editor your'e using), take a closer look :) Those who start with kde probably are kde games.

If you want to remove the menu item (but not the coresponding app) just delete that desktop file. If you are not sure, check the Name tag (???) inside the file - it contains the name you see in Applications menu and Nautilus

If you want to add a menu item, create new file with .desktop extension (haven't tried without, maybe it works too). All application menu entries have Categories=Application; games have category 'Game;' Sound & Video have 'AudioVideo'; (those are the ones i have changed the most - some games like enemy territory have 'Games;' instead of 'Game;', that's how i found out that i can edit menu without risking to lose it)

If you want to add new submenu i'm afraid i can't help you at the moment - the menu itself is a xml-style file (i think it was called gnome vfs) i know it exists somewhere but i can't remember where it is and how i found it :) (because i didn't need it at the moment i had found it so i closed the file)

try this:

cd /usr/share/applications
ls

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.

Hi, I see a lot of gnome-xxxxx-xxx.desktop and kde-xxxx-xxx.desktop!

Which one should I modify?

Ciao,
Nino
