Duplicate fbpanel systemmenu entries [SOLVED]

Hi,
I recently decided to try out fbpanel with my openbox desktop. However, now I have duplicate menu entries in my menu (the 'star' icon in fbpanel), I believe in my 'systemmenu' part of the menu. How does fbpanel decide what to put in the systemmenu? I thought maybe /usr/share/applications, but there aren't duplicate entries there.

(its duplicated for all menus, not just system)

Thanks

Ben

EDIT:
Well, I restarted my system, and the duplicates went away.
The problem could have had to do with my running pypanel simultaneously.
I will leave this here for future searches.

My ~/.fbpanel/default:

Global {
    edge = top
    allign = center
    margin = 0
    widthtype = percent
    width = 100
    height = 32
    transparent = true
    tintcolor = #a6162e
    alpha = 165
    setdocktype = true
    setpartialstrut = true
    autohide = false
    heightWhenHidden = 10
}

Plugin {
    type = space
    config {
        size = 2
    }
}


Plugin {
    type = menu
    config {
        image = /usr/share/fbpanel/images/star.png
        systemmenu {
        }
        separator {
        }
        item {
            icon = gnome-settings
            name = configure
            command = configure
        }
        item {
            icon = gnome-terminal
            name = terminal
            action = xterm
        }
        item {
            icon = gvim
            name = gvim
            action = gvim
        }
    }
}


Plugin {

        button {

Plugin {

Re: Duplicate fbpanel systemmenu entries [SOLVED]

I have the exact same problem and do not run any other panel. Any ideas?

Re: Duplicate fbpanel systemmenu entries [SOLVED]

Yet another "same problem", rebooting didn't fix it for me.

I'd also like to know how it decides to populate the menu because it has some items that no longer exist on my machine.

Re: Duplicate fbpanel systemmenu entries [SOLVED]

Same problem here too. Persisted after a reboot, several duplicates.

Re: Duplicate fbpanel systemmenu entries [SOLVED]

I also have this problem after switching from fbpanel to lxpanel -- I presume the problems are related.

Re: Duplicate fbpanel systemmenu entries [SOLVED]

This problem increased after switching to pypanel and running menumaker to get the openbox menu entries right.

Re: Duplicate fbpanel systemmenu entries [SOLVED]

FYI and for any one else who reads this thread;

Reboot is not needed,in a terminal;
$ killall fbpanel
and in a run dialogue (usually alt+F2);
$ fbpanel

That should update the fbpanel system menu.

If duplicate entries still exist it is as there is duplicate desktop files.These will usually be in /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications/.Check that out.Suggest rename duplicate .desktop files with additional .save extension and fbpanel will not find them.

Fbpanel searches /usr/share/applications/ and /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications/ for entries.
