GNOME Menu

Hej,

short question: is there ANY way to edit the gnome menu to my needs? meaning editing the places menu (like removing the network-entry  etc) and removing e.g. the "lock screen"-entry. i do not understand why the gnome-developers don't just set up an easily editable xml-file to define the menu structure.
if there should not be an acceptable way for doing so, is there any alternative to the gnome-menu?
if not so, i guess i'm gonna switch to xfce. that menu issue is really annoying with gnome. don't get it

thanks in advance

Re: GNOME Menu

Right click on your Gnome menu button, then Edit Menus, if I remember well. ;-)

For 'places'?
Don't think so.
Bit pants that, really.

There is a way because I've done it, but I can't remember how as it was a while ago and I just stumbled on to it. If I remember I'll edit this post.

Re: GNOME Menu

thanks so far, but alacarte is not an option because it doesn't for example manage the places menu.
so i guess i'm hoping for your memory to return, bones...

Re: GNOME Menu

I don't know if this works.

Alacarte
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alacarte (previously the Simple Menu Editor for GNOME or SMEG) is a menu editor for the GNOME desktop. It is part of the GNOME 2.16 release.

The menu "Places" is not available for editing. You can edit the places menu somewhat with this: $gedit ~/.gtk-bookmarks, or use gconf-editor (e.g. /system/storage/drives/_org_freedesktop_.../mount_options)
