# Examples

Two examples of xfwm configuration will be presented: The addition of a new menu to the default user menu and the removal of all default keyboard shortcuts.

# Adding items to the user menu

If you wish to add new entries to the existing user menu, you can add something like the following lines to your `$HOME/.xfce/xfwmrc` file.

     # Adding a menu to the default user menu :
     # (This is just a sample, modify it to fit your need)
     #
     AddToMenu "my_menu"
     + "&Gnome Terminal" Exec gnome-terminal
     + "" Nop
     + "&The GIMP" Exec gimp
     #
     # Menu "user_menu" is the name of the default user menu
     #
     AddToMenu "user_menu"
     + "&My menu" popup "my_menu"

Obviously, this is just an example. The preferred way to customize the user menu is by using a `$HOME/.xfce/xfwm.user_menu` file. This is always read by xfwm. The menu editor xfumed, which can be started from the default "User Menu", edits this file. The main root menu is named "__builtin_root_menu__".
