munky: First install the packages "becomeroot" and "nano"

Then, in xterm, enter the following commands:

Code:

sudo gainroot
nano /usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/applications-menu.dekstop

Then change the line from:

Code:

Mandatory=true

Code:

Mandatory=false

Then press "CTRL + x" to quit, "y" to save. and <return> to overwrite the existing file. Open up the panel configuration in control panel, and you should be able to disable application menu.

You have to remove the Mandatory line. When I tried setting Mandatory to false a few months back, it got me confused as it still didn't go.

@fiferboy

You are on fire! This is one hell of a release. Kudos!

Personal Menu is now in maemo extras! If you use the maemo extras repository, you can now refresh and install (or update) straight from the Application Manager.

Or just CLICK HERE for a one-click install.

qwerty, you were one step ahead of me. There is now a page for Personal Menu at:

munky: Here is the definite way to get rid of the application menu.

Step 1: after becoming root (sudo gainroot), edit the file "/usr/share/applications/hildon-desktop/applications-menu.desktop" and remove the line:

Code:

Mandatory=true

Don't just make it false, remove the entire line (thanks qwerty!)

Step 2: as regular user, edit the file "~/.osso/hildon-desktop/dekstop.conf" and put a # in front of the line:

Code:

X-UI-Policy=libtasknavigatorpolicy.so

NOTE: This will make it so your custom layout will work, but it will also not restore the "safe" (built-in) set of task navigator plugins if hildon-desktop crashes. Shouldn't be a problem, but could possibly result in a crash loop if a plugin crashes, gets reloaded, crashes again, etc.

Step 3: edit the file "~/.osso/hildon-desktop/tasknavigator.conf" and make sure the last five lines are:

Code:

[/usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/app-switcher.desktop]
X-Load=true

[/usr/share/applications/hildon-navigator/switcher-menu.desktop]
X-Load=true

If those set of line appear anywhere else, remove them. This will make it so your sidebar icons are in the correct order.

Now you can go ahead and remove and select whatever plugins you want through the control panel. A reboot might be required to disable the X-UI-Policy mentioned in step 2.
