[gobolinux-users] Application Menus

[Viola Zoltán]

I think, you not understand me. My problem is not that, who is the program
(for ekzample XaoS) as default in the menu-structure. I think, it is a
possible problem the following:

For ekzample, the Xaos is in default in the Graphic menu. I think, it is
best in the Math menu, and I change it from - to. This is good, nothing
problem. But! After a few days I make an update to a few programs. And the
update works succeeded, but the recipe of the new version of Xaos not find
the menu-title of XaoS in the "default" menu-item, in the Graphic! And, in
these case, the recipe make me a new title to the Graphic, though I have
already an another title of XaoS in a Math submenu! Or the Recipe should
ready the full KDE-GNOME-Others menu, searching for the title of XaoS?! This
is good, but what is the case, if I rename the menutitle for non-default
name? For ekzample, If I rename the OOo writer from the original name to
simple hungarian name-text: "Szövegszerkesztő" (in english: "Text-editor"),
and relocate this in same time from OOo submenu to the newly created
"Gyakran használt progik"-named menu (this name in english: "Frequently used
progs").

In these case - I think - the recipe can not find this menu-item, and make
me a new, and the menu-structure changed to illogical, chaotic.
