Aren't we supposed to be testing the Mandrake stuff :-) If Mandrake's KDE 2.1 depends on 'Mandrake's menu and menudrake' and this isn't working isn't there a problem ? Having rpm -e --nodeps menu and menudrake and then reinstalling kdebase-2.1-0.20010102.1mdk the problem is still there. Even using KDE's kmenuedit doesn't work. It picks up the menus okay, but seems incapable of writing them (or else it writes them some where other than Mandrake's KDE 2.1 is looking for them).

After playing around with the Mandrake menu editor for a while I could get back to only one entry and then kcontrol would work. But close the Mandrake menu editor and the two items per entry problem would be back. So then I tried kmenuedit. Oh dear, I now have empty menus and nothing appears to be able to get them back ! Certainly not update-menus. I Have contacted a KDE mailing list and got short shrift about it not being a KDE problem but a Mandrake menu editor problem. This would appear to be correct given that after playing with the Mandrake menu editor the menu's could be made to work. However, kmenuedit has some very severe problems. For example, if, say, kpackage is removed using kmenuedit some files vital to running kpackage are also removed and kpackage will no longer run ! b) Shouldn't the kcontrol program actually had some entries in it !!! :-( I get the main frame, but where there should be a tree of items there is just a big white box. c) In KDE 1 kppp would shut down the connection on exiting KDE / X. This no longer happens. The 'phone connection is alive and well after X has shutdown. I realise that these are KDE issues, but I don't seem to get very far with the KDE mailing lists. Anyone else fancy a try !
