Hi and thank you for your time! - I'm simply trying to prevent users from switching between the two KDE menusystems now offered in SuSE10.2. - I.e., I want them to stay on the "classsic" menusystem and not be able to select the new menu system in KDE. - But your answer was in another aspect very interesting... - I've used kiosktool a lot, it's not perfect, but it gets the job done. And then I use the kmenueditor to delete lots of stuff from the standard menu, as much as I really can. Then I copy the /home/myself/.config/menus/app...menu to the same location of the user in question. This gives the user a reduced menu. I then delete/rename my own copy - giving me my full menu back. - but I'd really like to be able to 100% tailor the KDE menu from the very beginning. Is this what you say you're able to do..
