16:31.09mheathHmm...
16:31.30mheathDoes anyone know of a slick way to override menu entry names?
16:31.54mheathThat is, say I wanted to change the entry for Firefox Web Browser to just "Web Browser"
16:32.09Zelutmheath: use the menu entry editor
16:33.15mheathZelut: I'd like to do the same thing programatically and system wide.
16:33.28mheathI guess thats my question - what files would you be editing, and where?
16:38.59Zelutmheath: the .desktop files
16:39.20mheathWell, thats my issue, when I say a slick way...
16:39.31mheathTrue I can go and completely alter things, move them around, delete them, edit them, etc...
16:39.53mheathBut if I'm just su'ing to root and editing the system wide .desktop files, what would make that survive an upgrade of the packages that contain those .desktop files?
