Thank you for the your explanation.. (I had some problems with the internet connection ...)


I suppose that I have both packages installed on my computer:


at the command line : yum list gnome-classic-session, I get :

Loaded plugins: langpacks

Repodata is over 2 weeks old. Install yum-cron? Or run: yum makecache fast

Installed Packages

gnome-classic-session.noarch 3.14.2-1.fc21 @koji-override-0/$releasever

Available Packages

gnome-classic-session.noarch 3.14.4-2.fc21 updates

Maybe this is a package installed by default at the first Fedora installation?



GNOME-tweak-tools do not seem to be installed:

at the command line : yum list gnome-tweak-tools  I get :

Loaded plugins: langpacks

Repodata is over 2 weeks old. Install yum-cron? Or run: yum makecache fast

Error: No matching Packages to list

But I have a launcher on the desk top that activates a window (titled Tweaks) (??) that has various tabs : (Appearance, Dessktop, Extensions, Fonts, Keyboard and Mouse, Power, Startup Applications, Top Bar, Windows, Workspaces)

No one of these tabs is actually enabled.


Hoping that this could helps, I also installed xdg-utils.noarch (I don't know what can bethe relation of this utilities with classic-session or tweak-tools)

=-=-=-=-=-=-

I have to admit that I still am not well oriented in the framework of the graphic presentation of  Gnome-desktop ; but it could be very helping for me to understand why 'the following file (/etc/xdg/menus/applications- that I created with the command : xdg-desktop-menu install ….. , ….. ,….. , ….. , ....)


[angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/xdg/menus/applications-

<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/">

<!-- Do not edit manually - generated and managed by xdg-desktop-menu -->

<Menu>

<Name>Applications</Name>

<Menu>

<Name>kde-office</Name>

<Directory>kde-office.

<Include>

<Filename>libreoffice-calc.

<Filename>libreoffice-calc.

<Filename>libreoffice-math.

<Filename>libreoffice-draw.

<Filename>libreoffice-base.

<Filename>libreoffice-impress.

</Include>

</Menu>

</Menu>

It does not have any effect on the desktop.

And also to know if I can make some changes because an icon (the submenu - office) can appears on the desktop for grouping the other icons ...

Still thank you

Angelo

Hi Samuel,

I have difficulty understanding ,,, So I tried to interpret carefully your words :
"In linux you can manage the view of the desktop in two different ways: classic or by tweak tools"

   I assigned this meaning to them:

_You can manage your “desktop view” using commands from the terminal or using the graphic environment that comes with tweak tools._

Sorry, I'll try again.

There is a package you can install called "gnome-classic-session" which gives you a desktop you can choose from the login menu that is called "Gnome Classic".  This desktop looks similar to the Gnome 2 style with a task bar at the bottom and an Applications menu at the top left.

The other way to get that Applications menu is to run the program called "gnome-tweak-tool", you'll have to install it.  In the extensions section of that program, there is an extension to show the Applications menu if you turn it on.

Then you still say :

“If that menu doesn't have the entries that you expect, then there might be an issue.”

This second phrase is not really clear for me ...

_could you better explain what you mean by the “term” menu ? _

If you have followed one of the methods I described above, then at the top-left of the screen, there will be the word "Applications" (or corresponding translation in your language).  If you click on that, a list of program categories will be shown (a menu).

Are you talking about the menu that I am trying to realize by using the command <xdg-desktop-menu instal> ?? But this (menu) doesn't exists yet ….

Probably, although that's a guess, because you still have explained where you are expecting to see this menu you are trying to create.

and also more important too :*_what you mean with the word “entries”_*

I mean the menu and items that you are trying to create with xdg-desktop-menu.
