Installed Xubuntu Hardy beta, now fully upgraded.
Reading the release notes for Xubuntu, I see reference to an application "Authorizations" (really polkit-gnome-authorization) that should be showing up in the Xfce/System menu. But it's not there.
I can find it and run it using Xfce4 Appfinder. But why isn't it in the menu? I did restart this machine several times earlier this week, and have been updating daily for weeks.
Are the Xfce menu items generated by the presence of .desktop files?
Running $ locate polkit-gnome | grep desktop
yields:
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/polkit-gnome-authorization.desktop
/usr/share/applications/polkit-gnome-authorization.desktop
This isn't a big deal--but in general I'd like to know how to make items show up in the menu when they fail to do so automatically.
Thanks.
