EXMENEN(1) General Commands Manual EXMENEN(1) NAME
exmenen, exmendis - enable or disable extra menus for GNOME, KDE and other XDG menu-spec compliant desktops SYNOPSIS
exmenen (--system | --local) [ module ] exmendis (--system | --local) [ module ] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the exmenen and exmendis commands. exmenen is a script that enables the specified extra applications menu on either a system, or per-user basis. It does this by creating symlinks within /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ (system wide), or ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged/ (per-user). If the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset, its default is taken to be ${HOME}/.config . Likewise, exmendis disables an extra applications menu by removing those symlinks. It is not an error to enable a menu which is already enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled. EXAMPLES
exmendis --system electronics exmenen --system electronics Disables the system wide extra electronics menu, enables it for the current user. FILES
/usr/share/extra-xdg-menus Directory with .menu files defining the available extra modules. /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for system-wide enabled extra menus. ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/menus/applications-merged Directory with links to the files in extra-xdg-menus for per-user enabled extra menus. If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset, the directory used will be ${HOME}/.config/menus/applications-merged AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Peter Clifton <pcjc2@cam.ac.uk> for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, as it is a Debian-specific script with the package. exmenen, exmendis and this manpage were derived from scripts and documentation written by Daniel Stone for the apache2 Debian package. 13 January 2008 EXMENEN(1)

XFDESKTOP(1) General Commands Manual XFDESKTOP(1) NAME
xfdesktop - The Xfce 4 Desktop Environment's desktop manager SYNOPSIS
xfdesktop xfdesktop [options] DESCRIPTION
xfdesktop manages the desktop itself in the Xfce 4 Desktop Environment. This includes drawing the desktop backdrop and providing a right- click applications menu and middle-click window list menu, as well as drawing icons on the desktop. Only one instance of xfdesktop can be running at a time, and should be started by running xfdesktop without any arguments. OPTIONS
--reload Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using a back- drop list. --menu Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the applications menu at the current position of the mouse cursor. --windowlist Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the window list menu at the current position of the mouse cursor. ENVIRONMENT
xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables. XDG_CONFIG_HOME Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to ~/.config XDG_CONFIG_DIRS Specifies a colon-separated list of system directories in which to search for configuration data. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to /etc/xdg FILES
xfdesktop searches for a menu description file in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu. xfdesktop can also use a user-customized menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/. BUGS
Please report any bugs to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Development discussion should be conducted on the xfce4-dev@xfce.org mailing list. Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list. HOMEPAGE
