Re menu and more ...

[aaparkr at swbell.net]

For reference:
I implemented something called "10 steps to the desktop you always wanted"
and it is much more usable to me. I also put a link to the Xfce menu on the
taskbar.

I went to /home/user/.config/xfce4/desktop using Midnight commander 
(as root) and that just has  icons.screen0.rc  and xfdesktoprc
but I still can't locate whatever produces the Xfce menu. This would
be the menu that pops up when I right click on the desktop. 

More confusion -> when I use File Manager to look (as 'user' I believe)
I see 'group-app.xml' in addition to the 2 files listed above, but it
just references the old panels. I don't see anything about the 
Xfce menu or Desktop menu. I think File manager is going to a different
home directory perhaps in addition to /home/user/.config/xfce4/desktop/something.xml

That was what I was afraid of, it seems to be ummm... poorly documented too.

That was a typo! I can't believe I hit 3 and then missed it when I proofed (sorry!).

I think I need to figure out more about what the "10 steps ..." changed as well(sigh). 
Anyway, thanks for responding. I will be back when I know more and can ask specific
questions.
