AFAIK that's wrong. Which KDE version needs this? AFAIK GNOME used the Application-Category in it's old .desktop files. But both do not longer need this obsolete category. You need to run update-menus to update any menu. update-desktop-database updates /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache - a database, which applications can handle a MIME-type. It does not update a menu. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
