Details

Description: on a fresh install of Arch Linux "Don't Panic" and Xfce 4.4.1 (*Italian* language, I don't know about other languages), by default the Xfce main menu has a duplicate entry (some don't work) for every menu entry (so every default entry is doubled). I don't know if this is an Arch-related bug or an upstream bug.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  bardo says: I just tested it with a new user and it seems to be solved. I'm using the Italian locale and I was experinencing the problem before. Requesting closure.

did you check the box "unique entries only" from the menu?
Comment by Tobias Kieslich (tobias) - Thursday, 08 November 2007, 21:27 GMT
did you?

Where?

However, "unique entries only" or not, the menu entries shouldn't be doubled (I think): I "workaround" this by manually deleting the doubled entries from the xfce menu editor.

Note: there are these doubled entries only after the "fresh install". Then when I install new applications there isn't this issue.

wow, it took me forever to actually see that you referred to the Italian language, sorry man.
We have a patch that fixes a segfault for the Italian language and might have created that issue, which all together should be fixed upstream. Wait until 4.4.2 is out and please report back
I'm working on the packages atm

okay is it working in 4.4.2?
Comment by Manuel C. (ekerazha) - Wednesday, 05 December 2007, 13:19 GMT
I should try on a fresh install (or *maybe* delete the xfce config files). On the next fresh install I'll report if the bug is fixed.

thanks for testing

hi manuel,

is the issue still an issue? YOu should be able to test it the following way:
create a new temporary user on your system, login as the new user, and start xfce4 in it
after that (issue solved or not does not matter) just log out, log in as your normal user and run a 'sudo userdel -r <newuser>' to get rid of the temporary user and that users homedirectory
