About the Applications menu files

About the menu files
A "Cheat Sheet" for the E17 implementation of the desktop menu spec. Might help some folks setup their machine to use the new efreet code. Efreet utilizes your .menu files, .desktop files, and has an impact on your border icons. The samples below are intentionally simplistic. Much more can be accomplished.

Enlightenment handles the menus the same way as gnome or kde, that means, a full compliance with the FDO specs. In order to have menus, you have to use a .menu file. The enlightenment-data package provides an exemple file in /etc/xdg/menus/enlightenment-applications.menu.
If you want to use it, copy it to $HOME/.config/menus/applications.menu, or symlink it. You can also renames it to /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu if this file does not exist yet.

Please see E17 and Efreet for further information.

Anyway, Albin Tonnerre (Lutin) packages himself the Enlightenment DR17 applications / libraries. This repository is hosted by dunnewind.net .

This repository allows you to install :


A windows manager (E17)
A Login Manager (Entrance)
