Desktop right click menu not working fix for JWM

Post by bigpup »

If you've lost the desktop right-click menu in JWM, the issue is likely with your JWM configuration file (.jwmrc) or a missing menu definition. You can try restarting JWM, running fixmenus, or editing the .jwmrc file to restore the menu.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Check your .jwmrc file:
JWM's configuration is stored in the .jwmrc file, which is XML-based. If this file is corrupted or missing, it can lead to issues with the desktop menu.

Restart JWM:
After making changes to the .jwmrc file, restart JWM to apply the changes.

Run fixmenus:
This command can help to update the menu definitions and resolve issues with missing menu items.

Review the example .jwmrc file:
You can find an example .jwmrc file that can help you understand the structure and options available.

Check for errors:
Before restarting JWM, it's a good idea to run in a terminal jwm -p to check for any errors in your configuration file.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o
