You will probably get a good reply long before you read this (tomorrow is a public holiday in my country and I won't be online) but here goes: KDE and Gnome use the freedesktop menu structure, it is documented at http://www.freedesktop.org in the Standards section. IIRC the document is called xdg-something... Anyways, the menus are not a simple structure, they consist of system-wide and user-specific XML menu files with .desktop files are the individual elements in the menu. The system wide stuff is usually in /etc/xdg or /usr/kde/3.5/etc/xdg/ The user-specific stuff is usually in ~/kde or other places... alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

From what I have gleamed from various mailing lists it creates more clashes than integration (I cannot speak personally on this as I don't run Gnome).

[gentoo-user] KDE menu structure lost by using gnome
Howdy, First I'm running ~x86 with the Xeffects overlay (Beryl- on nvidia). When doing a emerge -uDNav world, I had missed that the kdelibs-3.5.6-r7 being updated was from portage instead of from the xeffects overlay. This caused kicker to crash first time I'd clicked on an icon. OK, no problem, I just logged in using gnome-2.16.2 for a day, while compiling kdelibs from the overlay. Now I'm back into KDE and kicker is no longer crashing. But all my nicely arranged K menus are gone, replaced by the unorganized mess that looks like the default gnome menus. Is there any way to recover? Or do I just have to take the hour or two and recreate my menu structure? Is this clashing of menu structures normal between window managers? If so, any tools for backing up the menu structure? Or a way to tell gnome to use kde menu structure? Also I don't understand how or where the menu structure is defined on disk. Any good references?
