I'm new to LXDE and want to ask regarding application launchers in lxmenu panel. I didn't find a way to configure these launchers.
For instanse i need to put script to launch Skype. I found in wiki http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:Questions# ... in_menu.3F, but the problem is i don't see ~/.config/menus folder to configure i think manual outdated.
Also it suggests to install Alacarte, but not mentioned that it sucks all gnome stuff afterwords.
Yes, i may create launchers on Desktop and customize them to launch any scripts i like, but i want customize launcher in lxpanel.

Re: Configuring launchers
I'm not sure what you really are asking for here. However, I think the answer may be in http://lxlinux.com. See, in particular, Sections 4 and 11. If you have a decent Java installed, a much better menu editor than Alacarte is Lxmed. See Section 8 in the above link. Lxmed gives a GUI for easily constructing .desktop files, which then automatically shows the items in the Main Menu. Lxmed stores the GUI's it makes in . Lxmed appears in Preferences, and from there you can put it on a Panel.
