Description:
Description of Problem:
I have gnome 2.8 in debian sid. I am trying to define my own submenus
and menu entries (launchers). The problem I have is that after defining
submenus, when I try to add a launcher to a menu, the launcher doesn't
appears in the submenu. I have try to log out and log in and it doesn't
solve the problem.
Investigating it I have found that if I remove the Version and
X-GNOME-DocPath entries in the launcher file (editing it with vi) the
launcher works well.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a launcher
2. Try to display it
3. To solve it: edit the launcher file

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


How often does this happen?
All times I create a new launcher

Additional Information:
I use the spanish locale

I have revised the problem. The problem isn't with that lines mentioned. The
problem is with the TryExec= line. I have to remove it to the launcher works
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2005-01-31 12:39:37 UTC 
What are the full contents of the TryExec= line?
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2005-01-31 12:41:30 UTC 
The menu are handled by gnome-panel, reassigning.

BTW this bug is fixed by gnome-panel 2.8.2-2 in Debian (uploaded yesterday):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=291185

The new panel menu system doesn't use the vfolders so this bug is fixed in the
CVS too, I'm closing this bug.

The patch used in the debian package (maybe Vincent wants to commit it to
gnome-2-8 ?):
