I've been trying to figure out how to manipulate the menu file to move things around more to my liking. If I understand correctly, it's stored as an XML file. Problem is, unless I'm completely missing something obvious, I'm not able to directly manipulate certain aspects of it. For example, I want to move a menu item from, say, the Network menu and put it over to Multimedia. I've looked in the forums but my search had proved inconclusive. Perhaps there is an easier way or some application that could make it easier? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. </blockquote></div> Unfortunately, Xfce 4.4 (which is used in Xubuntu up to 8.10, currently the latest version) uses a half-baked implementation of the <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a> menu specification. The next version of Xfce, 4.6, which is supposed to be shipped with Xubuntu 9.04, should provide a better implementation (though it still doesn't contain a menu editor). Anyway, Xfce's menu is built up of an XML file, where one of the entries is "include the <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a> menu structure here". The files of the <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a> standard are spread across your computer, and are stored in .desktop files. You'll probably want to edit (as root) the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications. For example, if I wanted to move Firefox from Network to Multimedia, in the file /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop, I'd change the line Categories=Application;Network; to Categories=Application;AudioVideo; See for further reference:  * <a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/">http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/</a>  * <a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/">http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/</a> Cheers, -- Vincent
