I prob'ly ought'a stay out of this since I only use KDE,
but what'a heck :) I've seen a lot of this problem cited on the
expert and cooker ML's a long with other menu problems. The most
often advice given is to install DrakeMenu (URL below). It's for
the upcoming Mandrake 7.2, but it's reported to work well with 7.1
I personally haven't tried it. I found another work-around for my
menu annoyances. All of which stem from Mandrakes switching to the
Debian menu system in 7.1 for compatibility between Gnome and KDE
menus (and icons). DrakeMenu is currently the prescribed fix from
the developers.
