Missing the familiar Windows “START” menu?
Easily resolved.
Fire-up a terminal window.
Work>File Manager>Tools>Terminal
You should now see:
/home/user>
Do This:
/home/user> sudo bash [enter]
(This opens a command line shell with rights to do ANYTHING. Be careful!)
Now do this:
/home/user>mkdir /home/user/.icewm [enter]
/home/user>cp /etc/X11/icewm/preferences /home/user/.icewm [enter]
You have just created a directory in your user area, and copied the default preferences file into it.
Now do This:
/home/user>nano /home/user/.icewm/preferences [enter]
(This loads the preferences file into the “nano” text editor..)
Find the line with “TaskBarShowStartMenu”, and changes the value to 1.
(Use F6 to call the find function)
Hit Control-X and overwrite the existing preferences file.
Now type “exit” [enter] twice, and reboot the machine.
You should now have a START menu.
Excellent.
