[Bug 663994] Re: Upon applying profile, entire Application menu unavailable

Hello David,

I just uploaded a backport version of edubuntu-menueditor in 
https://launchpad.net/~menueditor-devel/+archive/backports

The package should be available for lucid soon. it contain a few fixes.

To work around the games menu problem, you can open the file /etc
/edubuntu-menueditor/<menu name>/xdg/menus/applications.menu and under
the <Name>Games</Name> simply add <Deleted/>. This way the games menu
will be deleted.

This is what it should look like.
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd";>
<Menu>
  <Name>Applications</Name>
  <MergeFile type="parent">/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu</MergeFile>
  <Menu>
    <Name>Games</Name>
    <Deleted/>
    <Exclude>
      <Filename>sol.desktop</Filename>
    </Exclude>
  </Menu>
</Menu>

Bug description:
Hi,

I'm trying menueditor and not getting expected results.  With Menueditor I open "Applications" and un-check 'games' and save it as TestMenu.

Then I open profilemanager, import the profile, and assign a group to TestMenu and save it.

Then I log in as a user of the group assigned to that profile.  When I click on "Application" menu instead of seeing the dropdown--without games--I see nothing, the menu won't drop down.  The Places and System menu work as expected.

I thought I might have unchecked the whole Application menu and checked that out but it was still checked.  The only thing unchecked was  "games" submenu.

David
