I have been experiencing a problem with editing XML files using GEdit in FC1. I'm hoping someone will know what is happening and point me to the solution, or tell me what I need to do. I have done some research on this, but without knowing what is wrong, I haven't been successful in figuring this out... I am trying to edit XFce-4's menu file, 'menu.xml', using GEdit. The file has to be in UTF-8 code to be picked up by xfdesktop. If I run a menu generator, MenuMaker, and open it with GEdit and then open the "Save As" dialog box, I see that it displays the file as "UTF-8". However, once edited and saved, subsequent openings in GEdit display "Current Locale (UTF-8)" instead. Once the file has been saved after editing, the menu is often useless, thereafter. To be sure to remove the possibility of an error in xml coding as the problem, I copied and pasted a current menu branch to form a duplicate entry. After saved, the menu came up. I went back in and edited the duplicates to make them point to the RH-specific system utilities that aren't picked up by MenuMaker, saved, and now it won't come up. I checked them very carefully for errors. There's very little tag work involved. It doesn't look like that is the problem. The only way I have been able to restore the menu's function is to generate another one through MenuMaker. Locale is set as: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= I can't see where there is a problem here, but I really don't know. If anyone wants to 'menu.xml', I can send it to them privately. It may be a bit too hefty to post here. I still suspect that it is a system-wide issue or one with GEdit. Any ideas? Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul
