What version are you running? If it is 1.4.5.55x, then you need to goto
menu-->Quit-->Update startmenu . It also depends upon your compile time
options for #define NO_MAKEMENUSONBOOT and #define NO_MAKESTARTMENU; if
you did not change these or used an rpm, then disreguard this pointer
(i.e. you didn't make compile time changes so this does not matter).
FYI - the startmenu under tmp gets rebuilt (unless chaged by the above 2
defines) everytime you start/restart AS, therefore making changes to this
file is pointless...this used to be in the readme, but is no longer there;
and I don't see it in the file:/usr/share/afterstep/doc/afterstep.html
either [Andrew Sullivan, a possible inclusion might be appropriate in
future releases of the 'FAQ'].
If you don't see the "Update startmenu in your menu, then copy the
/u/s/a/n/t/startmenu to ~/G/L/A/n/t/startmenu and restart AS, then do the
update.
