[SOLVED!!]
Going through the sources, in perticular panel.js, I found that all the
buttons on the panel had their menus registered to the PopupMenuManager
of the panel menu. (Main.panel._menus.addMenu(button.menu);)
Mine didn't, so I tried to do:
for (let category in this.items) {
if (this.items[category].length > 0) {
let directory = this.directories[category];
let appInfo =
Gio.DesktopAppInfo.new_from_filename(directory);
if (!appInfo) { global.log('App for desktop
file ' + directoryPath
+ ' could not be loaded!'); return;
}
let button = new QuickLaunchButton(appInfo);
this.actor.add(button.actor);
let item = this.items[category];
for (let i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {
this._addAppItem(item[i], button.menu);
}
Main.panel._menus.addMenu(button.menu);
}
}
Main.panel._leftBox.insert_child_at_index(this.actor, 1);
And it worked, all works as should.
Thanks Florian and Jasper for your attention with this.
Probably till soon, with some next problem... :-)
