Description magnux77 2015-04-06 17:22:13 CEST

Hello

Since Alpha2, Application Menu does not contain "Educative" and "Games" folders.
In spite of a few XFCE updates untill Beta3, the problem remains the same. 

Application Menu from right click on desktop background contains those folders.

Whisker Menu contains those folders. But why this Whisker has been choosen as default menu in Xfce, it is worse than the Application one : 
 - its hierarchical organisation is not so complete that the Application Menu 
 - it needs more clicks for its use
 - it does not respect the Xfce theme (all my menus are black, whisker is white and grey)

Verified today while creating a new user.

It's a known problem and started to happen after switching to new GarconGtkMenu [1]. I'll probably revert this commit for a workaround if I can't find any other sane solution. IIUC right click menu or whiskermenu doesn't use this new GarconGtkMenu.

Comment 2 Jani Välimaa 2015-04-07 08:20:52 CEST

The issue happens when <OnlyUnallocated> is used in menus and can be workarounded by removing them, but it has some drawbacks. If <OnlyUnallocated> is removed from menu file, some items appears more than once in menus.

Found the issue and pushed fixed garcon[1] to core/updates_testing as we're in freeze now. Please test it. If it works as expected, I'll request a freeze push to core/release for it.

Comment 4 Jani Välimaa 2015-04-09 15:56:42 CEST

No feedback yet and all seems to be working locally, so I'm requesting a freeze push.

Comment 5 magnux77 2015-04-09 16:45:55 CEST

I dont know how to test. Made the last update today. Application remains the same : no Education, no Games folders.

Comment 6 Jani Välimaa 2015-04-09 16:51:10 CEST

I've already asked a freeze push. After all garcon libs/pkgs are updated, you'll need to relogin/reboot or restart panel with 'xfce4-panel -r'.

Comment 7 magnux77 2015-04-09 16:55:43 CEST

For sure, I did a reboot after update.
And now I have jus added a new menu Application Menu in my panel. Still no Education and game folders.

Comment 8 Jani Välimaa 2015-04-09 16:56:52 CEST

With core/updates_testing enabled?

Comment 9 magnux77 2015-04-10 11:20:25 CEST

I have enabled updates_testing and rebooted and that's OK. Thank you very much.

Comment 10 Jani Välimaa 2015-04-10 15:28:36 CEST

Fixed pkgs are also available in core/release now. Closing as FIXED.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
