Try to storage the default: # rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications # rm -f ~/.config/menus/applications.menu There is a known issue in smeg that cause menu disappear in the previous version, but not in up to date smeg and py-xdg..

Maybe need to select on eog then delete gimp? I can see that it will not allow us to remove if it only has a entry. It's something that you will have to report in GNOME bugzilla. >>> c) Mozilla family of browsers can't open .pdf files, I always >>> get "running helper application..." and nothing happens. >> >> PDF plugins? or just to get browser to download and run PDF viewer by >> automatic (not open inside browser)?

Yes it does, maybe need to clear up somewhere in ~/.* configure file.. Try to login in a dummy account, then use Epiphany to find PDF link and click on it.
