207 | can access by running <command>help</command> from the menu, but some of

208 | the detail is out of date and the default selections in the menus (a few

209 | old applications on the main menu, everything else on the

247 |
|

248 | <para><emphasis>Alternatively</emphasis>, you can create a menu which conforms
|
---|
249 | to the FDO Desktop Menu Specifications, where programs can be found because
|
---|
250 | they have a .desktop file in the XDG_DATA_HOME or XDG_DATA_DIR directories.
|
---|
251 | Unlike most windowmanagers, <application>icewm</application> does not search
|
---|
252 | for programs when the menu is invoked, so if you take this route you will
|
---|
253 | need to rerun the following command after installing or removing programs:
|
---|
254 | </para>

---|

256 | <screen><userinput>icewm-menu-fdo >~/.icewm/menu</userinput></screen>
|
---|
257 |
|
---|
258 | <para>If you wish to put icons on your desktop, you will need to install
|
---|
259 | a program such as <xref linkend="rox-filer"/> which provides a pinboard.
|
---|
260 | If you do that you will no longer be able to access the menu by
|
---|
261 | right-clicking on the desktop, you will have to use the
|
---|
262 | <application>IceWM</application> button. To ensure that the
|
---|
263 | <application>rox</application> pinboard is running, the following
|
---|
264 | commands will put it in the startup file:</para>
