Looking for a way to remove the icons from the Xfdesktop menu. I've gotten the actual icons to go away (I created a white 1px x 1px 'icon' and set the file to use that), but I can't figure out how to get the 16 x 16 space for the icon on the left hand side to go away.

I know that a few people here have done it, at least it LOOKED like Xfce. Help me out? kthxbai.

PS - here's a shot: http://xs127.xs.to/xs127/08200/ss449.png

In your home dir make a file called .gtkrc.mine and add gtk-menu-images = 0 to it. Restart xfdesktop and any gtk app and all icons will be gone. To restart xfdesktop just go to settings and Desktop then uncheck allow xfce to manage desktop then recheck it. If you want menu icons in gtk apps I don't know of any other workaround.

Hmmm..
Tried the gtk-menu-images=0 bit, but that didn't seem to work right, but I did find this page : http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.12/GtkSettings.html

That lists gtk-menu-settings as a boolean value (True vs False). However, 'FALSE' doesn't work. Still looking for it though...

Never mind that tfte - I realized what I was doing wrong.
I had deleted my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 so that the Xfce set GTK themes would work. I had to recreate it with "include ~/.gtkrc.mine" in it to have the .gtkrc.mine parsed for gtk+ applications.

Thanks for the help!
