</div>You seem to be a veritable resource of common sense Charlie. I bet that<br>
idea could have saved me from some aggravation when I was first learning<br>
the "names" of the apps I currently use often enough to be worth the<br>
effort... Though in my case the sequence would be to open mc in an xterm,<br>
cd to /usr/share/applications and look at the appropriate file with less or<br>
vim depending on my mood. That way I avoid the frustration of dusting off<br>
the rodent to deal with another gui app, just to do a text based task.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I believe you can also use Applications->Acessories->Application Finder (or AppFinder) for that, though that might no longer be the case with the most recent version. Furthermore, I think the command for displaying the menu is xfce4-popup-menu (and for the Places menu xfce4-popup-places).<br>
