"add new item to this menu" always greyed out
Last modified: 2013-04-02 00:19:26 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: For the application menu from the gnome panel, the "Add new item to this menu" option is always disabled. There is no way to add things to the menus. This is the documented way to add items to the menu and it is always disabled. The docs don't mention any way that this would be "locked out". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open the application menu and select any submenu (e.g. Preferences). Move over the opened submenu and right click. Select "Entire Menu" (last entry). Actual Results: The "Add new item to this menu" is greyed out. Expected Results: Menu entry should be selectable. Additional info: This system was upgraded from Core 1.
This is a horrible bug. Please, please, please fix this! For instance, when I upgraded file-roller, a duplicate meny entry was created. I cannot delete or add the duplicate entry--even as root. When aps are updated they will create duplicate icons or place them in the wrong place. I can't understand why someone would be so mean as to leave this broken. If it was a "feature," it is most certainly not! Why would anyone in their right mind would want to be prohibited from modifying these menus? If you want to lock people out of the menus ask for a root password, but please, ODG make it possible. Even in a corporate situation---this would rot! Think of the Poor Little Menus, Please! Thanks : ) Gnome's bug people says that this is a Fedor Core 2 Bug. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145376 "------- Additional Comments From mark@skynet.ie 2004-07-04 11:11 ------- This is specific to Fedora Core 2 - feel free to log the bug in bugzilla.redhat.com"
Menu editing isn't implemented in the menu method in gnome-vfs
