Main menu

A very quick way to make launchers

Open the application run dialog with Alt+F2.

Then just drag & drop the icon onto your desktop or in the panel. ;) Gnome application run dialog.png

Restore original menu

cd ~/.config/menus

Here you find all menu files (ending: .menu). Delete them.

You also might delete all entries under

/etc/xdg

Install the packages

apt-get install menu-xgd menu

As root with

dpkg-reconfigure menu-xdg menu

you will trigger the reload of the menu entries.

Problem with Crossover Office

If you are configuring crossover settings (extended settings), you can choose a different name for the applications root directory - default is /Windows Applications. If the menu entries in your gnome menu disappear, simply change this, and a new menu will be created.
