Uli,

I have been reading the docs and I will admit that I am probably
confused.

First, my applications.menu file is /usr/X11R6/etc/xdg/menus/. Are you
sure of the location on your system?

The desktop files are the easy part. It's the menu stuff that has me lost.

I would really like to add a new menu (on the panel) for "Remote
Access", but I have at least been able to get it into the "Applications"
menu. Something creates the "places " and "Desktop" menus, but I have
been unable to find it. Are they hard-coded?

Any references beyond the freedesktop menu spec?
