HowTo

Customize the Xfce menu

It's done by edit of the menu configuration files with an editor such as vi. Custom xfce menus can be located in places like: /etc/xdg/xdg-mythbuntu/menus

vi /etc/xdg/xdg-mythbuntu/menus/xfce-applications.menu

Say I want to remove mplayer from the Application -> Multimedia menu.

rm /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop
