I realize there is a menu editor in Gnome, however it won't let me edit the Places menu. I want to get rid of Recent Documents, Connect to Server, and Cd/Dvd creator. Is this possible? I'm new to using gnome and don't know my way around it very much yet (kde convert but looooving the speed improvement:D)
I've edited the System and Applications menu to my liking. I've tried asking around, my buddy said under his Ubuntu he could edit all the menus, but now that I converted him to Arch he has the same question and couldn't find an answer.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Acid7711,
you can install "Alacarte"; it's a menu editor for gnome:
pacman -S alacarte

Thanks for the tip, but this is what I've been using to edit the menus. I still see no place to edit the "Places" menu. : /

As far as I know it's not possible to do that.

I found a way to effectively disable the recent documents. This should suffice my needs for now.
$ rm .recently-used.xbel
$ mkdir .recently-used.xbel
It's a bit nasty, but it works.

Thanks for this workaround, been searching for something like this for quite some time. Much appreciated.

Not a problem Glad I could help. It's an ugly little hack, but it's still working great for me. You'll get some occasional bash errors, but it works for me and what I want it to do.
I'm sure there is a better way to take care of it, but it's out of sight and out of mind I myself was looking for a way to do this for a while and came across no answers until I started looking at all the hidden files. There's another xml file like it, but it seems the xbel takes preference.
Whatever works right?
