As far as I recall, I used the same menu editor then as now, alacarte. It has some gnome dependencies, but mainly python, much of which you will already have installed. I'd never heard of menulibre, it is certainly much more recent, and of course looks much like alacarte as it does the same job. I do recall in my LXDE days trying to display the Debian menu, which I think is now deprecated, but which contained quite a few items not shown by the Freedesktop menu structure. I remember a maze of twisty little XML files, none of which seemed to work as advertised. If you have 'Other' enabled on the main menu, you will know that it appears to contain at least one entry for every application installed, which the rest of the Freedesktop tree does not. -- Joe
