Hi Jack and Nio,
Thank you!!  This is the kind of e-mail I had hoped to get :)
Thank you for your diligent testing!!!


I have recently pushed an update to the menu system that overcomes some
of the issues I found with the Unity context menus.
We skip all things that say OnlyShowIn, because there are no options for
ToriOS there :)
here are all the legal ones I know of:

GNOME;KDE;LXDE;MATE;Razor;TDE;Unity;XFCE;EDE;Cinnamon;

So we by default should not show things to configure Gnome or Xfce or
Lxde, etc...
However Unity context menus go something like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=
Comment=
Categories=
Exec=
Icon=
Terminal=false
Type=Application

[Desktop Action SomeAction1]
Name=
Exec=
OnlyShowIn=Unity;


So basically I moved our OnlyShowIn check to the point after we look to
check for extra context...

I also decided to use lxde desktop directories, or xfce desktop
directories files in case ours are missing.  It is not really necessary
but I want this to be a fairly portable script.  It is very complicated
looking, so I want to make it basically work even if someone is not
using it with our DE

I also fixed the issues I was having with the places menu.  I reverted
to a non updating menu (it is so small there is no reason to dynamically
rebuild it... we can simply overwrite it).

So these will be updates we will make for the Final ISO.
