Thanks, what I did not understand, and what is not explained in your email is that say you have a cream.desktop file with a <a class="l" name="13"></a>"Categories=Editors" entry. It will not be displayed in the system menu unless you have a Editors Category entry in your
applications.menu file. Similarly, if you have an Editors Category in your applications.menu file but no .desktop file with a matching Category entry the Category will not be displayed in the menu (it will not display empty categories).

<br>which will lead you to changing something like "/usr/share/app-install/desktop/applications.menu" (on Xubuntu). The entries there look like this: <br><br> <!-- Multimedia --><br> <Menu><br> <Name>Multimedia</Name>
<br> <Directory>Multimedia.directory</Directory><br> <Include><br> <And><br> <Category>AudioVideo</Category><br> </And><br> </Include><br> </Menu> <!-- End Multimedia -->
<br><br>and you will have to add/alter somthing similar. <br><br>If you just wanted to change the menu: settings-manager->desktop->Behavior->Edit Menu<br><br>Cheers, <br>Stefan</span><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
