Oh, my ... If you search archives you find that I wrote about it several times and finally I also posted the reason, and some crude hand-crafting solution. What happens is - you install both KDE2 and KDE3 - both install menu files. _Different_ menu files, e.g. kdebase-konsole and kdebase3-konsole - the _output_ files (i.e. the actual file that is generated during update-menus run) is the same in both cases, something like Terminals/console.desktop - so what happens is - update-menus generates _two_ entries in the same file. Look into console.desktop - you will see two, not one entry there. - Now, depending on the order of these entries, either KDE2 or KDE3 kicker will hang. I do not see any way to resolve it. The very crude solution was something like - make all KDE3 menu files require kde3 not plain kde - modify KDE2 menu methods to ignore kde3 - modify KDE3 menu methods to ignore plain kde but that is not general solution actually and you have a problem then with KDE3 menus under Gnome that is not prepared. Remove either KDE2 or KDE3 and rerun update-menus.
