Description deface 2007-03-28 04:41:30 UTC 
I've noticed the menu editor is no longer in Settings. Only reference I can locate it is via the Desktop Preferences Panel > Edit Menu. Which returns an error - 

Unable to launch xfce4-menueditor;Failed to execute child process "xfce4-menueditor" (No such file or directory)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Desktop Preferences Panel via Settings >
2.Go to Behavior Tab
3.Click Edit Menu Button

Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-28 07:23:47 UTC 
Never been there in the first place; xfce4-menueditor is installed by xfce-base/xfdesktop; please don't mess with package.masked stuff unless you know what you are doing.
Comment 2 deface 2007-03-28 17:22:33 UTC 
Whats never been where? Menu Editor has never been in Settings? Wrong, I have 8 machines which run xfce4, and all have Settings > Menu Editor. I simply filed this bug report because there is no menu-editor.

I did copy the wrong ebuild, Yes it is - xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.5_pre20070325-r1, and not libxfce4menu-4.5_pre20070325-r1. We're both right.
Comment 4 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-28 19:26:09 UTC 
And in end of installation you got..

        elog
        elog "Be noted that menu-editor has been disable because it's not"
        elog "supported in new menu system."
        elog

which you failed to read. Don't use p.masked ebuilds without caution, thanks.

Still does not explain the broken button.
