Right, but if you have to explicitly run this so I don't think this is a bug. Anyone running a command called update-menus and expecting nothing to happen is a bit broken in my opinion :) I suppose we could rename the old menu if it exists perhaps. > 1) postrun="test -e " prefix() "/menu.xml || cp > /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/system.menu.xml " prefix() "/menu.xml" > Problem : when root executes update-menus, the > /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml never gets overwritten since it exists > in the xfdesktop package. Yes and it has to exist there so that people without menu installed still have a functional menu. > 2) postrun="test -e " prefix() "/keep.menu.xml || cp ... > Problem : adds a file in the config directory that isn't known from > upstream. And is ugly and upstream will start getting bug reports/queries about it. I don't really like this. > 3) postrun="test -w " prefix() "/menu.xml || cp ... > Problem : may be unclear why the file isn't overwritten. Makes the file > overcomplicated to edit. Will mean that running it as root never works too as the menudefs.hook will be generated but the menu.xml won't be overwritten. > No other ideas for now. > The one that -to me- best solves the problem is the 2, but it has a > bad drawback. Yeah I'm not convinced by it. I think I'll tag this wontfix for now.
