That's annoying. I have: /home/derek/.local/share/applications/:/usr/share/applications/ and the local applications directory contains some CrossOver .desktop files that I created manually. These do show up in the menu. > > The structure is described by .menu files under /etc/xdg/menus or more > precisely and directory under > #> kde-config --path xdgconf-menu Which contains: /home/derek/.config/menus/:/etc/xdg/menus/ where ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/cxlegacy.menu points to ~/cxoffice/support/xdg-legacy-menus (<LegacyDir>/home/derek/cxoffice/support/xdg-legacy-menus</LegacyDir>) which contains two directories "CrossOver" and "Windows_Applications". Those directories contain .desktop files and other directories. However, none of those files get included into the menu in any way. > > Also, iirc, KDE used to have a program that would find .desktop files and > > add them to the K menu.

I think this might all be kubuntu related - I think kubuntu is (very annoyingly) suppressing all sorts of menus - which is why kappfinder isn't there. I'll have to try on the kubuntu list. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
