yes I fully understand this kind of menu item and frequently use this method to create menus of my own on my in house extensions which have worked as expected.
But that was not the reference.. seems we are on crossed lines here.. The entries I'm referring to seem to have no function in and do not create any separate menu items. So as I said before I simply remove 75 % of the erroneous entries in the desktop file thereby solving my problem, with the names on the wbar. if they are supposed to create desktop menu items as well, then sorry they do not.
