A couple of XFCE4 questions

Hey guys,

First of all, is it possible to edit the submenus of the desktop right-click menu graphically? There's a menu editor in there, but it only lets you edit the top-level items of the menu

Secondly, why does Settings -> Mixer Settings currently show you only the Settings for the mixer? What I mean is, why is there no mixer launhcer in there by default... (I could remedy this if the answer to ^ is 'yes'!)

Re: A couple of XFCE4 questions

On your first question: no . Actually, the lack of configurability of the menu is why i switched my WM to Openbox, and ditched xfdesktop & xfwm4 .

That's annoying... not so bad as a placeholder tho, considering you can add separators and launchers to the top level.

Why on earth they'd make only the top level editable...

Woah, wait a minute, you can get rid of all the submenus already there, and make your own, with editable submenus! Suh-weet.

I've just proved that you should be using XFWM4 =P *awaits B's return to XFCE*

Hi,

you also can edit the menu in ~/.cache/xfce4/desktop/menu-cache--home......xml
after a reboot you get your new menu.

Hehe... I'm hooked to Openbox I'm afraid, it's just great. But it'snice to know you  _can_ actually edit the submenus.
