. I'm just clueless "clubbing fodder" with linux, I'm afraid. BTW, have a look in /usr/share/applnk The .kdelnk files comprise the menus, it seems... Copy, paste and tweak or just edit with a text editor is what I've done... BobC Subject: Re: [newbie] KDE Menus Date: Wed, 13 Dec 200

Hello All, When I upgraded some programs their links went away in the menus. The last one was Pan. I can add the programs again thru the menu editor but I was wondering if there was an easier way... I'm using Mandrake 7.2 with KDE 2.0 Thanks, -- Paul Linux User #191842 http://counter.li.org

I've been trying to alter the main KDE menu but it seems to be reset when I login again. The KDE entries have been placed in a "default" menu and GNOME programs in my "personal" menu. This is with Linux-Mandrake 7.0, all Window managers installed. I want the GNOME stuff in a separate submenu, and

On Sunday 15 October 2000 13:53, you scribled down on a piece of electronic paper: I tried putting the files and folders in ~/.kde/share/applnk into a special Gnome subdirectory but KDE didn't let me move certain files. I logged in as root and it worked then, but KDE switched everything back

No, I'm the owner of .kderc, .kde/ and its files and subdirectories. On the other hand, there isn't a straightforward relationship between the .kde/share/applnk and the menus. There's a .kde/share/applnk/John subdirectory which is named Gnome in the menus (there's no "John" It's unclear why
