I installed The classic menu indicator that can be installed from ppa:diesch/testing (some really cool packages there btw).

Now I want to edit the main menu, reorganize some of the applications, make my own catergories etc.

Will installing alacarte allow me to edit this menu as I used to be able to in Gnome 2?

Also, as per this question, how can these cool little indicators be moved across the the unity panel?

I refuse to install gnome-panel or gnome-session packages anymore since there appears to be too many conflicts with these and the new unity interface.

Thanks for using ClassicMenu Indicator :-)

Yes, you can use alacarte to edit the menu used by ClassicMenu Indicator. Changes may take a few seconds to become available at the indicator.

You can't move the indicators on the panel, see my answer on the question you cited.

  • ... hmmm... I've tried to enable/disable via alacarte in 11.10 but this doesnt affect the classic indicator :( Enabling/disabling folders does work. Any ideas?

  • @fossfreedom: Works for me. Are you using the most recent version of ClassicMenu Indicator? Please file a bug report at bugs.launchpad.net/classicmenu-indicator if it doesn't work for you. Thanks.

  • @fossfreedom: Please file a bug report just like that. That makes it easier for me to keep track of what issues there are, and maybe someone else can contribute more information.

  • At my system, alacarte was installed but not in the classic menu tree. But using alacarte (started using the gnome button, or the list of all apps in the top classicmenu item) I could enable the classicmenu section called "system settings" that contains a menu item for alacarte.
