You have been subscribed to a public bug: When a user attempts to edit the application menu in Xubuntu he or she cannot add items to most of the sub-menus in that application menu. Each newly added item is instead added to the other menu, reguardless of which menu the user had selected when they added the new item. It appears there's no way to move items to a sub-menu that is not Other through the menu editor.
Step to reproduce: 1. Right-click the applications menu. 2. Select properties 3. Under the "Menu File" section, confirm that the "default menu" radio button is selected. 4. Click the Edit Menu button. 5. Select a sub-menu (such as "Accessories") that is not "Other" 6. Click the "New Item" Button 7. Enter a program and program name, such as "xeyes". 8. Click "OK" 9. (Notice that the program has not appeared in the selected sub-menu) 10. Select the "Other" sub-menu 11. (Notice that the program you just added has appeared in this sub-menu. You may have to scroll to find it) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: xfdesktop4 4.10.2-3ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-15.25-generic 3.11.10 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Feb 13 15:59:41 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-01-25 (19 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: xfdesktop4 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: alacarte (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug menu saucy xfce -- Cannot add items to application menu sub-menus in XFCE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280031 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to alacarte in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
