In Mandrake 9 an application menu is created. In KDE almost all applications are there by clicking on the kde button. I don't use KDE. I prefer Fluxbox (as I know many others do). When you install Fluxbox as an afterthought, the menu is incomplete. However Blackbox may have been installed when you installed Mandrake and it has a fairly complete automatically created menu called blackbox-menu in the user directory. To get all the apps in my Fluxbox menu without manually editing it (a tedious task ) I remove the old fluxbox menu: mv ~/.fluxbox/menu ~/.fluxbox/menmu.bak
and replace it with:
ln -s ~/blackbox-menu ~/.fluxbox/menu
I can then easily edit all GUI menus by running menudrake.
Not sure how well known that is, but it sure saved me some time from menu editing. |
