How to override Debian menu in Openbox?

[Crayon Shin Chan]

So I installed LXDE after seeing it on PartedMagic. Wow, that was clean, custom, and everything I wanted. But Debian just has to install so much crap!

I already ran update-menus --remove, apt-get purge menu, and all that removed was the big pile of cruft under the Others section. But I still get the Accessories, Internet, Other, Sound & Video, System Tools entries in the menu, and these entries are nowhere to be found in my .config/openbox/menu.xml files... nor, in fact, /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml. I have no idea where these entries come from, and nothing I do in obmenu seems to change it.

Where can I find and nuke these menu entries? Debian has made LXDE so similar to GNOME... which is not what I installed LXDE for.

So what is it that causes a major website to be down?

It's not just you! http://lxde.org looks down from here.

I mean, wtf man! Pay your damn bills son!

No. I legitimately wanted to download a copy of LXDE for myself and guess what? Site is down. WHY!?

I'm okay with LXDE being made similar to Gnome 2. Gnome (3) Shell is a POS at this point IMO. Disregarding functionality - this is a matter of taste - it is so sluggish as to be unusable for me. Sure, it needs a 3d accelerator, but Gnome2 with Compiz was extremely responsive. MInd you, I'm not running new hardware, but this shouldn't be this horrible on a Core2 machine... and what's with the fascination with incrementing version numbers these days? Gnome 3.4 is out? Feels like Gnome 3 beta 3 to me.

Back on topic, in any case LXDE is supposed to be pretty similar to XFCE and Gnome 2.. but it's less tightly integrated, so you're perfectly able to trim it down without breaking dependencies. You may just want to run OpenBox.

edit: my bad, not understanding typical linux versioning again. Gnome always follows more or less 6 month release cycles. .4 means the second update to Gnome 3, odd numbers being development versions AFAIK. Gnome 2.30 would have been the 15th update to Gnome 2. Man I find that confusing, decimals ('points') in software are not mathematical! Gnome 2.4 came out 7 years before 2.30. Uh, ok.
