[solved] Hiding certain .desktop files in the XFCE menu?

Is there a way to hide .desktop menu entries in the XFCE menu without removing them from the system?

For example, there is an entry called "Recording Level Monitor" after installing some gnome dependencies for rhythmbox.  It's a useless app to me and I'd like to have it hidden for good.  I suppose I could delete the .desktop file, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so, but I have the feeling it'll keep coming back on -Syu's.

I think you can add this line in the .desktop to make the entry go away from xfce.
OnlyShowIn=GNOME

You can also use NoDisplay=true in the .desktop files.

As synthhead suggested, aren't these solutions going to be undone as soon as the program updates?

That's what I ended up doing.  Works fine for now smile  Thanks!
