I really need to edit the application menus. I hope someone here can tell me the secret. I don't mind doing it manually; I just need clear instructions.
I just discovered that the application menu is called Applications Menu and it is a widget installed in the panel. Right-clicking > Properties gets me a dialog box with some options, among which are:
Menu File * Use the default menu ["Edit Menu" button] o Use custom menu file: Menu file: [Button to browse for file]
By default it is set to "Use the default menu," but when I click on the button to edit the menu nothing happens.
Well, that's not entirely true -- actually it launches alacarte, which however silently crashes...
Setting it to "Use custom menu" enables the button to browse for a file, but I have no idea what kind of file it is looking for or what kind of syntax it requires.
I have no idea either.
