You do not have to run update-menus manually unless you have added your own personal menu entries or menu-methods (you haven't). To work out where an item has been placed, you could try reading the menu-entry placed in /usr/lib/menu, e.g. ~$ cat /usr/lib/menu/xterm ?package(xterm):\ needs="x11"\ section="XShells"\ longtitle="XTerm: terminal emulator for X"\ title="XTerm"\ command="xterm" ?package(xterm):\ needs="x11"\ section="XShells"\ longtitle="XTerm: terminal emulator for X with Unicode support"\ title="XTerm (Unicode)"\ command="uxterm This tells me that there's an 'xterm' entry under 'XShells'. Of course if you can't find a menu-entry in /usr/lib/menu, there might not be one. File a bug on the program in question to get one added (and CC to this thread, some helpful people like me may write it!) If there is a menu entry under /usr/lib/menu, you haven't tinkered with your own personal menus, and yet it still doesn't appear in your application's menu, it could be a bug in that application (e.g. the gnome panel). -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
