[gnome-flashback] "Debian" menus

[Nathan Salwen <salwen 1 gmail com>]

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this. 

I updated to Ubuntu 14.04 and now when I click on my Applications menu (on the gnome-panel) I do not see the Debian entry in the top-level menu.  If I click Edit Menus I can see a checkbox for Debian between Accessories and Education but even if I click on it it does not show up in my menu.

So I tried to modify my gnom-flashback-applications.menu in /etc/xdg/menus and I could make the Debian menu show up if I fill in some non-entry fields such as

<Include>

  <Category>System</Category>

</Include>

Next I tried to see if I could create the Debian menu manually at this point by starting to copy the entries from debian-menu.menu into the same entry but these entries all have things like

<Category>X-Debian-Applications-Editors</Category>

which all seem to be empty categories and therefore, do result in the Debian menu showing.

I have menu and menu-xdg installed.  From my reading, menu is supposed to create Debian menus but I guess I am missing something.  My question is, why is the debian-menu.menu included if all the categories it refers to are empty and why is there a checkbox for the Debian menu if it is not possible to make it appear.  Perhaps I am missing something and I will be able to get it hooked up?

Please CC me on any replies.

Thanks,

Nathan
