On my primary laptop (/home previously used by SLED), I only have Lock Screen. On other machines (with fresh /home), I'm seeing a wide range of options (Help, Control Center, Install Software, Lock Screen, Logout, Shutdown). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This was a DVD install, FWIW. When I created a fresh user, though, I had all the System options, so I'm inclined to assume it has something to do with previous user settings. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The user file contains full paths, as opposed to just the name of the .desktop file in order to accomodate user created launchers. If the location of .desktop file changes, e.g. as the result of upgrading from an /opt system to a /usr system, these items become lost. There are 2 basic work arounds to fix this problem. First, one can just delete ~/.local/share/gnome-main-menu/system-items.xbel to restore the default. Or, one can edit the file and correct the paths. Setting to WONTFIX as per Jared Allen's request. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

While not true for every case, it is likely that any change to the default list of items (applications or system) will result in all items being expanded to full paths. Expanding the path was done to distinguish customized launchers from their corresponding defaults when they have the same basename, e.g. /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop vs. ~/Desktop/gedit.desktop. This has been a problem before, #142932, for the applications in particular. Whenever the path of an application's .desktop file changed the main-menu couldn't keep up. It was decided then to let those applications fall through the cracks, but just to make sure that everything else was consistent with that. I think I have a decent solution though which preserves most of the functionality which is to first lookup the .desktop by path falling back to a search by basename. Please try the packages here: http://w3.suse.de/~jimmyk/gnome-main-menu/STABLE/v0.9.8-95/ I will reopen and set to NEEDINFO -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Install 10.2 2. Customize the "System" area of the main menu by adding the date and time applet 3. Changed the order of the shortcuts listed in the system area by dragging them around. 4. Performing an online update to 10.3 After the update was complete only the Date and Time and one other launcher were shown under the system area of the main menu. I then patched up to the gnome-main-menu packages available here : http://w3.suse.de/~jimmyk/gnome-main-menu/STABLE/v0.9.8-96a/gnome-main-menu-... After upgrading, I found that the other system entries were properly shown. However, after closer inspection, I found that there were still some applications with /opt in their path listed in the applications.xbel file. However, these applications were still able to be launched via the main menu. I have attached my applications.xbel for reference. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How do you customize the system area in 10.2? I can't seem to drag app iconst o it, do I have to actually alter the gconf keys in 10.2 to do this?

You can drag the already-existing launchers around to change their order. You can also drag from Favorite Applications onto the System area. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
