#20 Programs not displayes

[Anonymous]

I am using icewm 1.2.23-3ubuntu from the UbuntuDapper
6.06 LTS original archive. Architecture is AMD_64.
Problem is that there is no program displayed in the
Program-Section which is not configurable. The problem
does not appear in the 32-Bit version.

You need to install the "menu" package to generate automatic
Programs menu in Debian (and so in Ubuntu). apt-get displays
what the packages do recommend, don't ignore it (in this
case icewm-common sets a "Recommends: menu").

The Programs section of the menu is configurable thru
~/.icewm/programs. Global file is probably in icewm
installation path. Could you check that it is not
empty/different in 64 and 32bit package?

http://www.icewm.org/manual/icewm-8.html

if the menu is auto-generated somehow, then this is probably
a different story.

icewm-common is installed as well as icewm-gnome-support.
The ~/.icewm/programs contains two (not well done) lists
generated by icewm-menu-gnome2 with KDE and GNOME
applications in it.

Neither in my 32-Bit nor 64-Bit installation I found the
programs mentioned in icewm-8.html, only menu.

I checked with dpkg --listfiles the packages icewm,
icewm-gnome-support and icewm-common. No listing contains
that >programs< file.
>menu< how it is installed is similar in both
installations, 32 and 64 bits. It always ends up with the
two lines generating the KDE and GNOME menues with
icewm-menu-gnome2 --list ...

What I mean is the section beneath, where the Debian Menu
Tree is listed. This seems to be generated automatically
without using any config-file.

Remove this file. You only create ~/.icewm/programs if you
want to manage it manually. And... icewm-menu-gnome2 does
not generate this file, so who did create it?

"programs" does not appear in package listing because...
uhm, it is auto-generated?!

What does "menu ends up with two lines" exactly mean? Hard
to imagine that.

And the "Programs" menu entry is added automaticaly, indeed.

Excuse my bad english please, I tried to tell, that the
last two lines in the "menu"-file, I think, they are
gnerating the "gnome" and "kde" submenues, are similar in
32- and 64-Bit installation on my computer.

This entry I am talking about: it's empty.
