To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=0016369205f6de42a5047b1e093b X-Archives-Salt: d73835fb-45f2-4b3f-9aca-02f0ee3dd477 X-Archives-Hash: e8cd4d5ed167d62f356250881bb82228 --0016369205f6de42a5047b1e093b Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I haven't seen an answer to my question elsewhere. I have found it convenient to edit the gnome main applications menu, with a Science menu and a Guitar menu, and others. I have perhaps too many apps installed. Apropos is something I'd forgotten about, but it's convenient to have a gui way to start up my preferred apps, with Gnome. Gnome's menu is vastly improved over earlier models, in particular that when a new app is installed, it is immediately available. However, when updating/upgrading Gnome, my edits are lost. I'd like to specify a config file withing a "Workbench" folder or other folder off my ~/ directory, under git control. It would useful for these changes to be portable on new installs, as well. Can anyone offer any insight into this problem? Thanks for previous insightful answers on this list!
