And I'm not talking about ~/.fbpanel/default... I'm referring to the menu items that are added outside of this file. I have 8 submenus above the normal entries in ~/.fbpanel/default, all with various programs that I have installed. Where is it getting this information from? I have found nothing on this from google or from this forum.

For the record, I'm running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE #0. .xinitrc starts fbpanel, nitrogen, idesk, and openbox.

I think it's using the .desktop files found in /usr/local/share/applications.

That does appear to be the case... thanks for the lead.

It also uses desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications, in both cases ONLY IF they contain a "Categories" line.
