I’ve just installed suse 11.2 with gnome. Now I need to modify entries in the applications menu, mainly so blender starts in windowed mode. Right click on applications will let you hide an entry, not modify it. Right clicking on the suse computer menu won’t even allow that.
If I could find the file(s) which hold the actual data I could modify as required, but where are they?

Hi
You just need to create your own ‘desktop’ entry. The easiest way is to
drag and drop the icon onto the desktop from the menu and modify here.
Else is you look under /usr/share/applications where you could modify
the entry <somename>.desktop to meet your requirements.

Thanks for that. Editing the /usr/share/applications entries pretty much did what I wanted as far as the suse menu was concerned. I’m more used to using the gnome Applications/Places/System menus, and I can’t find a way to edit those. I do find them quicker to navigate so I would like to.
Hi
You mean the alacarte application?
If you right-click on the panel and select ‘Add to Panel’ You can add
either ‘Traditional Main Menu’ or ‘Menu Bar’ and just delete the ‘Main
Menu’.
If you want the ‘Main Menu’ back just follow above with the right-click.
