Re: non installed programs in menu :s

What DE/WM are you using? Have you checked to see if these packages are installed?

 $ pacman -Q | grep <package>

Don't break the silence unless you can improve upon it.

Re: non installed programs in menu :s

Hey, owenmurr, welcome to the forums.  Here, it's usually appreciated if you include more relevant information with your post.  Depending on the DE/WM you use, menus can be generated in a number of ways; it's usually just a matter of either using the appropriate gui editor or editing the correct file to add or remove menu items.  With regard to sclient, I have no idea what that might be doing under your "Games" entry without having been installed, since it should only be installed explicitly.

Can be old .desktop files that's messing with your menu.
