Custom menu file

With a custom menu file (see the attachment) a placeholder "No applications found" gets added to the application menu.
This makes no sense because I explicitly want to choose what entries are shown.

The menu file can be set in the application menu properties.

This occurs with xfce4-panel 4.12 and is caused by garcon.

Comment 2 Thomas Lange 2015-03-01 21:18:48 CET
The attached patch for garcon fixes the issue.
I see no point for adding a disabled menu item so I just removed it.

Changed component to garcon

Any update on this bug?

I attached a screenshot which shows the current distracting appearance.
