Hi,
I'm running Cairo-Dock on Debian Squeeze with LXDE and Openbox.
Cairo-Dock version: 2.1.3-10-lucid
Compiled date: Oct 9 2010 07:11:14
Running with OpenGL: 0
I am using that version because it is the one in the Debian repository.
The problem is that my GMenu applet (v1.1.5) shows 'Recent Documents' but no menu at all.
Having looked at the thread http://glx-dock.org/bg_topic.php?t=5510, I can offer the following information:
The *only* applications.menu on my system is:
/etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu
There are some .desktop entries in $HOME/.local/share/applications, and the rest of the relevant ones are in /usr/share/applications.
Can I work around this by placing a symlink to /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu somewhere?
Thanks. |

yes, link /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu to /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu and it should be good (you need to be root)
if not, try with /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu |

Great! The second option did the trick in my case.
Merci tres beacoup, and keep up the excellent work. |

One small thing: I am unable to mark the thread as solved - presumably because I posted as 'Guest'.
Perhaps the webmaster could do it for me, so as to help others?
Thanks. |

done
Note for me: include this case in the code. |

For what it's worth, the menu in /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu is the system-wide menu; the user-specific menu is at ~/.config/menus/lxde-applications.menu. I symlinked this to /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu and it is working great. My point in doing it this way was to avoid the need for root privileges when editing my menu.

This bug was fixed by launching the dock using the option cairo-dock -o -e gnome or -e xfce |
