Gnome Default Menu
We provide a default menu which we think suits most of the institute members. During the beta phase we make changes to this menu (e.g. add new applications). To reset your menu and adopt our suggestions, please run
[user@host] migrate-profile.sh -m
Note the -m option! This will only reset your menu, the rest of your desktop remains untouched!
Screenblanker activates after 2 Minutes
