Xfce right-click menu problem

Nylex · 08-12-2005, 12:40 PM

I'm using Xfce 4.2.0 and the other day, I ran KDE's Konsole. For some reason, it has added itself to Xfce's right-click menu and I want to remove it. If I run xfce4-menueditor, for the section that contains various categories like Accessories, Development, etc, all I see is "---include---" and "system" in the Name and Command columns respectively. So how do I remove the entry for Konsole?

Thanks.

Hi,

Look for menu.xml (probably in /etc/xfce). This file is used for the menu's, edit to your needs.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply druuna. Unfortunately, that file doesn't help and it is the same one used by xfce4-menueditor. In it, I can only find reference to "system" as in my first post. Why does Xfce's documentation have to be so sucky?

Hi,

Which menu.xml is used by the editor? The global (/etc/xfce/menu.xml) or the local one (~/.xfce/menu.xml)?

I personally only have the /etc/xfce version, I did not bother to create one for the local user(s).

Hope this helps.

The local one seems to be used by xfce4-menueditor (~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml). I looked at the global one also (/etc/X11/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml), but they contain the same info. This is the section that's relevant:


<include type="system" style="simple" unique="true" visible="true"/>

There's nothing there to tell me where I can find a file for "system". Grr

Hello Nylex,

For my Debian Distro i did find the Desktop menu definitions at:

~/.cache/xfce4/desktop/

Check out the .xml and the .rc files.
Look's like part of is generated run-time...
See also the Xfce FAQ: http://spuriousinterrupt.org/projects/xfce4/#faq

Regards,

Thomas

You sir, are a genius. It's fixed now, thanks

. I had to look through all those files and only one of them had the entry that I was looking for, heh. Nice one

. Edit: I should also say, I asked this question on the Xfce mailing list and in the replies I got, there was no mention of those files (and one reply was from a developer) :/.

Presumably you should read post 6 and I guess, judging from my post that started this thread, I was looking for an entry related to Konsole. Since this thread was several years ago, I can't remember the details.

What exactly do you need/want to do?

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I installed vlc first and then installed mplayer. I found mplayer was not useful, so I uninstalled it. But when I click a video file, mplayer was still there.
I use archlinux, here is my solution:
rm ~.local/share/applications/mplayer.desktop
