Hey everybody!
First time Suse user and I just have a quick question regarding the way that menus are layed out lol!
How do I go about removing the Sub-sub-menus when using the gnome menu (instead of the slab). I do not enjoy the way that Suse organizes menus.
(i.e. Graphics >> Image Editing >> Gimp)
I want to change my menus back to as they were in Fedora & Ubuntu
(i.e Graphics >> Cheese, Gimp. Picasa, etc )
Is there a simple way for me to do this?
Thanks Much

Hi
Control Center -> Look & Feel -> Main Menu edits for slab or
traditional menu.

Hrm. Whenever I try and open the control center I get a error
‘Failure loading - settings.menu’
Strangely though the control center works on my sisters account on this machine.
This could be related to the files I deleted while trying to restore the menu :X
Any idea how to fix this?

I dont’ use Gnome, but you could just create a new account, set up things the way you like them, and just move any important data across to the new account. A useful how to here:
A good Gnome tutorial:
It explains some of the key configuration directories.
Option 2: As root user from a console, you may be able to copy some of your sister’s working config directories to your account. (Think of it as a learning exercise).
Good luck.
Hi
The files are ~/.config/menus/ do they exist? Maybe moving them and
logout/login and see if they get re-created.

Well now I can access my control center (I created a new profile and copied over data) but the menu editor is only the standard one (alacarte I believe). This would allow me to manually edit those entries. But Im looking for a easy automatic way to have it done (so I don’t have to edit after I install an application).
Any Ideas?
I think that the created menu links depend directly on the application package installed. If you don’t like the layout, you have to edit it manually.
Is this what you’re after?
Hi
The application determines where it will install in the menu structure,
you would need to edit the <application>.desktop entry for the ones you
which to change?
