Description Myckel Habets 2011-01-12 19:37:30 UTC
I've installed the "soon to be stabilized" xfce4 (4.7) branch (request from Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org>), that went fine. However, after starting I notice that the application menu doesn't work and gives a popup window with the error "File "menus/applications.menu" not found" when clicking on the menu button.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install xfce4 4.7 on stable system.
2. Start xfce.
3. Click the application menu button.
4. See error message about missing "menus/applications.menu".
Actual Results:  
Error message about missing "menus/applications.menu".

Expected Results:  
Click the menu button and get the menu with all installed applications.

Could you please describe in more details what was the mistake. Because I have the same problem. 

An I have to use custom menu (/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu) instead of default, because there is no /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu file;

I solved the problem by running etc-update.
