edubuntu-menu-editor

[Joseph Hartman]

I got it to work a while back. If I recall there are two apps to make it
happen. The first allows you to specify which menus and sub menus appear for
the user. Make your choices using the check boxes and save as the menu as a
tarball on the desktop. Then open the second app. This one allows you to
assign the tarball configuration to a specific group or user. If memory
serves there are three windows in the second app, the left displays the
users and or groups while the right side shows the tarball and the bottom
shows the pairings between the two. You must first import the tarball. To do
so right click in the blank space of the right side window and select
"import" or whatever. Browse to the desktop and select the tarball to import
it. If I recall you must change the browser to look for "all files" before
it will see the tarball. Once you have imported the tarball into the second
app, click and drag it from the right side of the second app window onto the
user/group in the left side window. If this is done correctly then a new
entry should show up on the bottom window of the second app. Click file and
save to save the configuration and you should be ready to rock. I
encountered a few bugs, but for the most part it worked as advertised,
although I only ever used it for specific users, not groups. Let us know how
it goes. Best regards, -Joe
