    For me it shows up as “Menu Editor” via the Super key. I can also run it from a terminal as below:

    /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/menulibre/bin/menulibre

    You can add the directory to your path environment variable in .bashrc file, if you wish to launch it by typing “menulibre.”:

    PATH=$PATH:/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/menulibre/bin

    Ok thanks that worked. How do I add it to my bash.rc? Just type
    PATH=$PATH:/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/menulibre/bin
    at end of bash.rc?

    Doesn’t Ubuntu-tweak already let you edit menu items?

    “Edit System Menus” doesn do anything differently than “Edit User Menus”.

    I knew something was wrong immediately when it didn’t ask for a password, since the “system menus” are write-protected (.desktop files stored in /usr/share/applications, which is owned by root).

    After giving it a try, I confirmed that both editing modes are the same and work by creating an overriding .desktop file in the user’s home directory (~./local/share/applications)

    This is a shame because this editor works much better than the gnome solution, alacarte, but can’t be used to edit the root menu.

    I even tried running the program with gksu, but it crashed before opening. Running from the terminal without gksu will also crash the program.
