Actually, I realized that it is also safe to run update-menus (I presume that is what Menudrake uses when saving the menus). The reason that it didn't work on my system was that I had added my own directory .menu-methods and forgot to put in a method for kde. Gee, do I feel like a dofus. /Peter -- http://www.linearity.org/turtle/contact.html ``When you have had all the experiences, met all the famous people, made some money, toured the world and got all the acclaim you still think--is that it?
