We have a large number of servers and I wanted a GUI way of launching an xterm with an ssh-session into each. The menu-items would be grouped by the Ansible inventories each host is listed in. To this end I: 1. Created a subdirectory ~/ansible-menus 2. Created ~/ansible-menus/remotes.menu with the following content: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd"> <Menu> <Name>AnsibleHosts</Name> <LegacyDir>.</LegacyDir> </Menu> 3. Added a separate "Program Menu" element to the panel, configured to use the above remotes.menu as the menu file. 4. Created a subdirectory of ~/ansible-menus/ and a couple of .desktop files According to the https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html#legacy-hierarchies this should be sufficient. Unfortunately, my new menu remains empty. The only way I can get any entries to show up is by changing LegacyDir to AppDir and explicitly <Include>-ing each of the .desktop filenames. My version of Garcon -- built, like the rest of Xfce, by a FreeBSD port -- is 0.6.2. Unfortunately, that's not a option under the Version-menu (which lists only 0.6.0 and 0.6.1) at present. It appears, LegacyDir was not a supported verb nine years ago (https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/garcon/blob/master/STATUS). Has it really not improved since then?..
