I am having a few problems with the update-menus program. I wonder if anyone else is also.
1. I removed 2 applications, xfreecd and wmcdplay, using apt-get remove and then installed tcd and xcdplay. Altho apt-get ran update-menus the two removed programs are still in the 'USERS' menu's. They have been removed from the roots menu's tho.(?) Re-runninf update-menus has not helped the problem. 2. I guess the maintainer of tcd didn't put the required menus for the X version of tcd, gtcd, in his package so I am trying to add it. I have read the /usr/doc/menu/html/index.html, and the README's in /etc/menu, /etc/menu-methods, and /usr/lib/menu, but still can't get it working. I have added the following to ~/.menu and /etc/menu ?package(gtcd):needs="x11" icon="none" section="Apps/Sound" \ title="Gtcd" command="/usr/X11R6/bin/gtcd" but it still doesn't show up in the menu of any user after I run update-menus. Yet 2 removed apps are still showing up in the Users menu. The /usr/lib/menu/default/README says to put new entries into /etc/menu but the /etc/menu/README says that entries in this dir "override the menu files provided by Debian in /usr/lib/menu and /usr/lib/menu/default". "New entries" are not the same as "overriding current entries", or are they? The html doc says to add user menus in ~/.menu. The html doc suggests doing "echo -n > ~/.menu/Xfreecd" to remove the menu entry from the "system menu" in /etc/menu. Funny, I thought the system menu was /usr/lib/menu? I'm really confused now. Well anyway that doesn't work either, maybe because xfreecd and wmcdplay are not in ANY menu file at all! I hope that I'm the only one having a problem with this. Maybe it's because I'm not running KDE. They seem to like this! I long for the old way of changing .fvwmrc to whatever I want it to be. It made a lot more sense to me then this does. Oh, I have tried closing X down and also restarted the WM. That didn't help. As I am running Linux I will not reboot to try the Microsloth method. Comments, flames, tips and/or pointers appreciated.
