It should work. Tried it...didnt work.so manually went into the directories and removed all the .rpmsave files. Now menus are fine Note that this little script has been put in the new kdebase package (in %postinst section) and I wonder why it does not seem to work.. :-/ Not sure..when I ran itit just sat theredidnt seem to have any affect on the files. Left if sitting twice for over 15 minutes each time and ended up control-c ing out of it. When I checked the directories it had not done anything noticable. Dennis Greets, Gael.

[newbie] Duplicate menu items after upgrade
I posted about this problem a couple weeks ago and someone posted a solution, but I had gone ahead and done a reinstall of the system. In the meantime I find I need to thry that very same solution but no longer have the message to refer to. Whoever posted it I would appreciate a resend. I did an upgrade on a Mandrake install to the latest 5.3. However for all KDE applications and files on the menu in KDE all K apps are duplicated. If the person who sent the solution to try would resend it, It would be most appreciated. Thanks
