xfdesktop menu file location problem

[Enrico Tröger]

Hi,

I just tested the new xfdesktop menu stuff. But my first test was a bit
disappointing because after compiling and installing the current SVN
version the whole menu disappears(the right click menu on the desktop
as well as the panel-plugin menu).
I got the message: Could not locate a menu definition file. So I
started to have a look at the code and what is going on on my system.

xfdesktop (or libxfce4menu, not sure) installs the file
xfce-applications.menu in etc/xdg/menus. Probably this works on most
systems, but not on mine.
I have my complete Xfce installed in /home/enrico/apps/xfce-svn/, so
the menu file is located in /home/enrico/apps/xfce-svn/etc/xdg/menus.
But xfdesktop didn't find it there. After copying the file into
~/.config/menus the panel-plugin menus appears and looks fine.
So, did I anything wrong while compiling and installing(I do it the
same way like before since about a year). Or may it be a bug in the
menu file location code of xfdesktop?

And there is another problem: as I told the panel-plugin menu appears
but the right click menu on the desktop doesn't appear. So nothing
happens when I click right on the desktop. Any hints where to start
looking for the reason?


Regards,
Enrico
