Please follow the instructions below: 1) Create a directory ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/ 2) Extract voip.directory to ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/ 3) Extract xfce-applications.menu to ~/.config/menus/ 4) Extract address@hidden to ~/.local/share/share/applications/ 5) Open Applications Menu of Xfce.

Xfce 4.10: Applications Menu launches a web browser instead - BUG! * I have attached a patch so you can examine differences between my * system menu (xfce-applications.menu.origin) file to the one I have * edited (xfce-applications.menu). > > Which Desktop Environment are you using? > xfce4 Yay!
