Ottavia I haven't tried Corel myself, but there's been a lot of recent discussion on either the cooker or expert list (sorry, don't remember which) about a very quick and simple fix for the 'menus screwed by Corel' problem. try an archive search -- ~~ Tom Brinkman[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps creating a new temporary user would help. Log in as that user, run X-windows and check the mimetypes and set-up applications. After that you should be able to get going in copying the .kde/share/applnk and .kde/share/mimelnk folders from the temp-user to your own ~/.kde/share ddirectory. chown them, and things should be pretty much back to normal again. If someone else has a better idea, then just forget what I said. Good luck, Paul Thanks for the suggestion but I tried a new user and have the same problem.

[newbie] Corel Graphics 9 changing KDE menu
I added a number of packages to Mandrake 7.2 and something messed up the KDE menus. After a re-install I tried to duplicate the process to see who was the culprit. Corel graphics program changes the KDE menu structure. The things that change is the option to click on a file and open it up in one of the KDE related programs. For example if I click on a rpm file it will not open up in KDE's rpmpackage. Same for text with kedit, and graphics do not pop up in the KDE graphics viewing program. It also removed my Applix dir from the KDE applications menu completely. Can anyone give me an idea on how track down what changed. I did a re-install of KDEbase and KDEadmin from CD but still have the same problem. John
