How do I enable the globalmenu / appmenu on Xfce or LXDE?

Question

For a production Win2003 web server, I'd like to be able to allways log minidumps whenever the w3wp.exe processes crash...I've read the documentation for ADPLUS, and have xcopy-deployed it to the production web server, and have started adplus.exe from the command line as follows:

adplus.exe -crash -MiniOnSecond -NoDumpOnFirst -pmn w3wp.exe -o C:\Dumps

This does log the "MiniOnSecond," but it is also logging full dumps on first--and I don't want those (they're big fat files, and don't have what I need). Has anyone found a way to get the "-NoDumpOnFirst" flag to actually work? Additionally, I'd like this behavior every time the box is rebooted--How can that be accomplished without running a batch file on-reboot? I've read about Windows Error Reporting (WER), and it is trivial to impliment this behavior on a Win2008R2 server--how to make that work on a 2003 server?

I've read the documentation for both ADPLUS and WER--but I need help with the actually command line and/or registry settings to make capturing minidumps simple on a Win 2003 Server. Thanks for your help!

Please elaborate on the various tricks you tried.

Just saw it this morning :-) now trying to compile it for 64bit, anyone tried?

[danjjl]

@JohannPhilippStrathausen did you try sudo dpkg --force-architecture xfce4-appmenu-plugin_0.10-1_i386.deb ?

[Johann Philipp Strathausen]

No didn't try that, maybe it would have worked. Instead, I compiled it via ./configure; make; sudo make install, had to install one additional libindicator-dev or something like that because it was complaining about it in the configure phase, log out, log in, then add it to the panel, working nicely :-)

Thank you very much! Just wanted to share the link of the source tar ball for compiling: web.archive.org/web/20150907070609/http://gtk-apps.org/conte‌​nt/… Furthermore the script asks for an unresolved dependency which apparently cannot be satisfied, the package name to be installed is actually xfce4-panel-dev

[jesusiniesta]

:( Frak! Doesn't work for me. Says: Plugin "Indicator Appmenu Plugin" unexpectedly left the panel, do you want to restart it?. And offers me Execute (which brings up the same error again) and remove. Im using Ubuntu 11.10 x64.

@jesusiniesta how did you install the plugin (compiled or deb)? Johann was talking about a missing lib, maybe try sudo apt-get install libindicator-dev

Cannot download .deb file!!!!
