XFce requires UTF-8 coding to work, so that is a given in that 'menu.xml' must be UTF-8 encoded, through and through. It apparently has no tolerance for bad coding. :0) It occurred to me just a few minutes ago that I might have broken up the coding in some way that wasn't obvious to me before. I went back and experimented with some more editing. I believe the problem was the use one or more illegal character entries (like adding "&" to a title) and that was causing it to fail. I seem to recall that you need to precede each of these with an "\" to keep it from being interpreted, just like at a BASH console. My current edited menu is working because it doesn't have any illegal entries now. I will play with it later on to see if I am correct, but I think it's been all my fault all along. Ignorance is never bliss. :0( Thanks for you help, anyway. Paul > > --- "Paul M.
