This bug is more then a problem with the menu editor program. Adding ".desktop" files to /usr/share/applications isn't working.
You can test this by creating the following file in /usr/share/applications/test.desktop Insert the information below to the file.. [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Link Name=Load Google URL=www.google.com Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility; It should then appear in the menu under "Applications -> Accessories" however it doesn't. desktop files with Type=Application however do appear in the menu as expected. You can test this by changing our test.desktop file like so.. [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Name=Load Google Exec=/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser www.google.com Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility; The latter example is the only work around I can find however this is definitely broken in gnome-panel and has been for a long time now. -- gnome-panel doesn't let me add locations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
