GNOME Menu

Hej,
short question: is there ANY way to edit the gnome menu to my needs? meaning editing the places menu (like removing the network-entry etc) and removing e.g. the "lock screen"-entry. i do not understand why the gnome-developers don't just set up an easily editable xml-file to define the menu structure.
if there should not be an acceptable way for doing so, is there any alternative to the gnome-menu?
if not so, i guess i'm gonna switch to xfce. that menu issue is really annoying with gnome. don't get it
thanks in advance

I don't know if this works.
Alacarte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alacarte (previously the Simple Menu Editor for GNOME or SMEG) is a menu editor for the GNOME desktop. It is part of the GNOME 2.16 release.
The menu "Places" is not available for editing. You can edit the places menu somewhat with this: $gedit ~/.gtk-bookmarks, or use gconf-editor (e.g. /system/storage/drives/_org_freedesktop_.../mount_options)

[SOLVED] Rubyripper icon not displaying in Gnome menu

Hi.
The Rubyripper icon doesn't show up in my applications menu (Gnome). The .desktop file reads
[jm@elroy ~]$ cat /usr/share/applications/rubyripper.desktop | grep Icon
Icon=rubyripper
And the icon is present in my filesystem
[jm@elroy ~]$ find /usr/share/icons/ -name rubyripper.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/rubyripper.png
What can I do?

The icons for the gnome menu have to be located in /usr/share/pixmaps I guess, check if a rubyripper.* icon is present there. If not, copy an icon into that folder [name: rubyripper(.png | .xpm | .svg ...)]
If present, maybe the icon cache should be updated. Try
gtk-update-icon-cache
or
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/{your icon theme}
to force an overwrite; with root privileges. (I guess your theme is hicolor.)
I missed some icons too, but I did never mind. One day, they occured... so if nothing helps, wait ^^

Gnome menu has no applications

So, the gnome menu has no applications. I've never had this problem before.
Here's a picture, so you know what I mean:

I'm not a gnome guy, but have you tried https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127651 ?

Can't start GParted from gnome-menu

Hi, I have a problem with GParted.
I know that it worked fine some weeks ago.
But now it doesn't start from the gnome-menu.
The strange thing is: if I copy the same command as in the menu ('gksu /usr/sbin/gparted %f') in the terminal Gparted starts.
Maybe this problem is since the sudo or a gparted upgrade.
What could be wrong?

In my Xfce4 installation, it's /usr/share/applications/GParted, which I copied over to ~/.local/share/applications/, as kaixi suggested, and it appeared there as gparted.desktop. Right-click for Properties > Launcher > Command, and in that field (not wanting to install gksu) I put sudo gparted, which works, thanks.

Sane way of adding/editing gnome menu entries like ubuntu does?

how can I get the same or similar functionality to the gnome menu editorin ubuntu? i think it was called alacarte menu editor. I love archlinux its much faster and cooler than ubuntu becuase I get to choose everything I want and nothing else. But editing the menu is a necessity. If there is no alternative to editing countless linked files then so be it, but I would really like the ability to edit and add and remove programs from the menu. Anyone know how to do this?

pacman -S alacarte

Edit gnome menu globaly (for all new users)?

Is there some let say clean way to edit default gnome menu entries for new users?
I know about alacarte, but it edits just users menu.
What exactly I need, Im preparing a unified arch desktop fot a lot of computers in our office. And I will copy the prepared desktop to all the computers edit things that are host specific and create new user. But 95% users will use 30% of same menu entries, the rest entries are useless for them. I dont want to edit menu for each new single user. But there are let say few users that will use much of the entries, but it is not problem to enable that for few specific users (alse those understand what they are doing so they could do it themselves).
I was thinking about that like gconf editor for global settings.
My workaround will be to copy to every new created user prepared ./.config/menus ./.local/share but I isnt so much elegant:(
Or maybe there are same files somewhere global but I dont know where (I will replace them with the prepared one)
Thats why Im asking.

You could take a look at: /usr/share/applications

No gnome menu icons [solved]

Hi fellas, I have a bit of a problem, it is not vital though, just that there are no icons next to any of the item in any drop-down menu (right mouse button menu, main gnome menu etc...)
Thanks

Didn't help. It was ok when I first installed the system, I just tried changing icons, it worked at first but after one boot it just didn't load, I tried changing everything back to previous state, it didn't come back up though. What should I do, I don't wanna reinstall the whole system, it took me days to modify it to the way I wanted it.

Gnome - Disabling gnome-menu icons

Hi all,
Seems that this is an old subject, as I've read throughout several posts on the net.
I want to disable the gnome-menu icons, completely, keeping the menus like the System one, which, by default, has no icons (what's the logic of that, btw?)
Gconf-editor has an option to enable/disable ONLY the icons under System (again, what is the logic?)
gconf-editor >desktop>interface>menus_have_icons
Seems that previous versions of Gnome allowed for the hiding/disabiling of all icons on the gnome-menu, which was nice behaviour - letting the user decide if they should show up or not.
Question: Is there a way to disable the icons?
Regards,
-aurocha

i don't see anything wrong with that image. that's how the apps should look from know own since its using the new menu thingy from gnome-shell.

GNOME Menu - Openbox Menu

I'm trying to switch to Openbox from GNOME (yay) and used `mmaker -vf OpenBox3` to generate a menu. Except, it's a mess with tons of things I'd never use.
So my question, is it possible to convert GNOME menu entries to Openbox menu entries?

mmaker -vf OpenBox3
has pretty much done just that.
The easiest thing to do is open .config/openbox/menu.xml in an editor and remove all the entries that you don't want.
The beauty of OB is you can make it do just about anything...

Gnome menu export

Hi there.
Is there a way to export the whole cotntents of the gnome menu to a file or something? Because I would like to use a proper, autogenerated menu in pekwm as a fallback, when I was too lazy to add the right application.

Try menumaker in extra. It has support for pekwm.

Gnome menu applet, remove arrow

I've been looking on how to remove the arrow frome the gnome menu applet and found this guide. How could I do the same thing with arch?

Hi,
Try to modify the master page and overload the css style. Have a look :
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms466994(v=office.14).aspx.
If you need to modify the style just for one page only, you could add a script webpart instead to modify the master page

Gnome-menu-file-browser-applet

http://code.google.com/p/gnome-menu-fil … er-applet/
Remeber winXP? And that little pop-up menu that could be used to browse trought directories (folders). I used it to browse my music folder.
This plugin is about the same. And it is cool, nice addon for gnome panel.
I dont have a clue about pkgbuilds...
Tried to do this one but wiki page confused me... that part with cmake and stuff...
So please help me! This is what i made so far...

All those files seem to have is application names. What specific file did you use to edit the menus?

Gnome menu item placement [SOLVED]

I read the Customizing System Menus on the Gnome wiki but am wondering if there is a GUI based method to move where an Icon under the Gnome Applications Menu will appear. For example: I want the launcher for some Office stuff that currently resides under the "Wine" section to appear in the "Office" section of my "Applications" menu.
EDIT: Jeeze - didn't realize that if you clicked on the damn section of the System>"Main Menu" that it displayed the damn icons! All this time I thought this was only for defining menu sections!

GNOME menu icons missing?

I'm writing this from Debian box and here they have icons for each menu entry for Places and System.
How come in ArchLinux those are missing? Was it Debian that spiced up the GNOME or was it ArchLinux that does something differently from upstream GNOME configuration?
