Xfce right-click menu problem - how to remove an entry?
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?
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?
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:
<!--
The next line includes the autogenerated menu at the current level. If
you want, you can put this in its own submenu.
-->
<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 .
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?
i want to remove the desktop menu. the whole thing... however it doesnt take any changes from the .config/menus/XXXXXXXXXXXX.menu
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
