    Newbie here, hi!

    I have followed the Desktop Customisation advice and have almost the perfect desktop.

    One question, how do I rename the Xfce Menu to read 'Start?

    I found this on another thread but does not work:

    Another question: How I can personalize the "Xcfe Menu" button?

    I saw that in /home/user/.config/xfce4/panel/ there is a file .rc for each element in the panel, so there is also a file for the Menu Button: it's called xfce4-menu-ID#.rc ( I think ID# will change at every panel modify)
    I tried to modify this file chaging the lines, but at each reboot this file return at the default value.


    Thanks

    Ben

    alt-f2, enter "xfce4-panel -a" without quotes.

    Use the add button to add a start menu. In the dialog that comes up, you can give it a name, or untick the name box (I use it without text, personally). Add it to the panel, move it to your preferred spot, delete the old one.

    Tried this but it just puts the menu in the system tray for some reason.

    Open the xfce4-panel -a again. Now you will be able to drag and drop it to the left!
