Menus in KDE2 and Mandrake have always been a complete mess for me ever since
I started using KDE 2. If I play around a lot with menudrake the menus will
start to work, but only for the remainder of that session.
Remove all KDE directories / files - same problems.
Brand new account - same problem.
KDE 2 on my Red Hat system at work is just fine.
Mails to the KDE lists get replies along the lines of 'this isn't our problem
it's a Mandrake problem'. Mails to the Mandrake list just seem to get
ignored !
Enough people have commented on this for it not to just be another 'owen'
problem !!! ;-)
Regards,
Owen
