How do I edit the applications menu

Asked by tadiv

OK - so I'm working in the glome-panel desktop (GNOME flashback session) and, in the old days there was an "Applications" or "Places" menu dropdown that allowed editing of the menus (add / remove items from the "Applications" menu) - but now with the new and better interface, I can't find that editing function any more....

I saw an old post that mentioned editing ~/.config/menus/ but that path does not exist in my home directory...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Errrr... The function is hidden - point to the "applications" and right-click - the edit option is shown...

I also found the editing capadility under Sundry > Main Menu...

But still when I add an item, it is not added (specifically, I select Add Item then fill in the dialog box with details, then click "OK" and the dialog box vanishes, but the new item is not inthe menu...

Very strange - I was adding this item to the "Internet" section, but somehow it was being added to the "Other" section...

I'm not sure if this is solved or not - I have the item, but not where I want it...

Suggestions?

Instal alacarte and you can edit menu items

That's the application in which I was having the trouble with things going into "Other" as opposed to where I thought I was putting them...

I guess nobody thinks that this is a problem...
