XFCE4 (Xubuntu) Whisker Menu renames itself to default [fix]

[thumbtak]

My whisker menu would reset itself on restart in XFCE4 every time I rebooted. I fixed it by doing the following.

1. Open Terminal Emulator.

2. Type
$ sudo thunar

3. Go to /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/whiskermenu/defaults.rc

4. Edit line two from “button-title=Applications Menu” to the name you want it to be.

5. Save, close the file, and restart to verify.

Note: You can also edit this file, which does not require root.
$ ~/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc
