Hi Jack,

This is indeed a bug, but I am not entirely sure how to fix it.

The issue is that I caused this issue by moving to the jwmrc script
based tools, because jwm-settings-manager was not working.  But now I
have a working jwm-settings-manager which includes desktop-file-editor
which can almost fully edit desktop files (does not support Unity's
[Desktop Action *] items) but does support all the freedesktop
standards  for desktop files.


So.... I need to modify the user's jwmrc file.


The best way to do this is using xslt or I could use sed I suppose...


I will work something out and fix this asap..

Until then you can run desktop-file-editor

I have a desktop file for this, but I will change the NoDisplay to False

This way it will show up in the menus.


Thanks for bringing this up Jack, I definitely appreciate your
consistent help with ToriOS, you have helped make it much better!
