menu edit problem

[ja'far]

Hi all

I haven't been able to successfully alter the menu.xml file. I have
copied it to ~/.xfce but as soon as I do that the menu no longer
functions - when I right click on the desktop there's just a tiny little
square which promptly disappears - like a raindrop in a pool of water.
Once I delete the file from there everything's OK again.

I am new to XFce and love it so far. I would like to compliment the
developers on a great looking design and - as far as I can tell - great
functionality. I have to say that using it is stretching my limited
skills somewhat but I have already learned a lot in the process.

Hope someone can help and thanks in advance.

Ja'far
