I have an interesting problem. I have the Thunderbird and Firefox builds from the Ubuntuzilla repo for Ubuntu/Debian installed on both of my desktops. I've discovered that once these packages are uninstalled, either via Synaptic, or the command line, the app's entries are not removed from the TDE Internet menu. I have a second desktop environment installed (LXQt, which is what was used to install Debian from the image) and I noticed the same thing on their Internet menu.
There is no easy way to remove the entries from LXQT as there is no GUI to edit the menu that I am aware of. Does TDE have something like this?
The only other option I see is to wipe out everything on the computers and reinstall Linux from scratch, which is something I would rather not do. As for Ubuntuzilla, they have a support forum at Ubuntu, but I am not creating an Ubuntu One account just for this.
Thanks in advance.
Hello, Edward.
Have you tried the TDE Menu Editor? It should come preinstalled with the Trinity desktop. You can launch it by right clicking in the menu.

Hi Mavridis,
I will have a look at that, did not know it existed.
I've since learned that the LXQt file manager can be used to edit their menus.

You can also just hover over the menu item you want to remove, right click, edit item (which brings up the TDE Menu Editor), and then click the red X in the tool bar (or use the Delete key).

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the tip.
I'm all set now.
The moral of the story: on a Debian system, stick to packages /built/ for Debian. :)
