[newbie] kde 3.1 installation and config
i was wondering if perhaps someone could let me know where the config files for the kde start menu are at...i just compiled and installed 3.1 last night but can't figure out how exactly to add all the applications that were in my old kde menu to my new one. it would be much easier if i could just cut/paste some lines from one config file to another rather than using the menu editor application to add everything i need. plus i've already overwritten most of the old kde binaries so i'm not sure exactly what/where everything is that used to be in the menu. i've tried going through ~/.kde and even copied that directory from another user account who hadn't used kde 3.1 yet to my own in hopes that it would provide the same menu configuration but i was wrong. also i can't seem to figure out how to make the new kdm boot kde 3.1.i was not able to add fluxbox to kdmrc for 3.0 because it would get overwritten after every reboot and when it would not boot kde 3.1 for some reason, i started using the kdm for 3.1. now it will boot fluxbox but kde 3.1 just makes the screen flicker a few times but goes back to the kdm login, eventhough i can boot kde 3.1 with a startx from console. if anyone can offer some insight on either of these matters it would definately be appreciated, thanks _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

[newbie] kde help
a few days ago i was having trouble adding fluxbox to my window manager list in kdm. i decided to go ahead and upgrade to kde 3.1. now fluxbox is added to my list but there are too additional problems. for some reason i cannot get the new kdm to boot kde, but kde works fine when i run startx from from console. also i need to figure out how to add all of the applications from kde 3.0 menu to 3.1's. i'm hoping to find a better way than adding everything with the kde menu editor tool individually because it would be much simpler to just cut and paste from one file to another and because i don't want to search for the paths for everything. thanks in advance for any help _ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] printing and kdmrc
I have been having a couple of problems with kdm and printing i was hoping someone could help me out with. first off..whenever i reboot linux, i have to readd the printer every time. i have yet to figure out why. my printer is detected properly and prints the test page during mandrake installation and after i reinstall the printer with printtool, but every time i reboot, i have to remove and readd the printer with printtool. i have an hp officejet 570, using the driver reccomended by printtool. Secondly, i have been trying to add a window manager (fluxbox) to the kdm login menu. everything works fine until i reboot and my modified kdmrc is apparently overwritten. until i reboot, everything is fine and it's on the menu, but once i reboot, the changes to kdmrc are gone. after modifying it again and restarting kdm its fine again so i'm pretty sure that's that only problem. i have sifted through /etc/rc.d/* with regrep and haven't found the problem yet. i followed a few leads from there to a few other files but still haven't found a script that overwrites kdmrc. can someone offer me some insight on this problem? thanks in advance _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
