But it appears to be a logic failure of some sort in kmenuedit and the K Menu of kicker. Is this the way it is supposed to work? **** Start kde fresh for a new user. Accept defaults in Desktop Settings Wizzard. In Lost & Found folder in the K Menu, find several listings that actually come from the system file /usr/share/applnk/Applications At this point the directory ~/.kde/share/applnk exists but is empty. **** Start kmenuedit. In the Lost & Found folder, delete a sub-folder called HamRadio. The result is a new file ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu that contains: <!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd";> <Menu> <Menu> <Name>Applications</Name> <Menu> <Name>HamRadio</Name> <Deleted/> </Menu> </Menu> </Menu> Now I find that the folder HamRadio is indeed deleted from the K Menu's Lost & Found folder. This is as it should be. BTW, "Applications" appears to be the system name for the directory that is referred to as "Lost & Found" in the kmenuedit panel and the K Menu. **** Open kmenuedit again. Now delete a single desktop entry KSimus from the Lost & Found folder. The file ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu now reads. <!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd";> <Menu> <Menu> <Name>Applications</Name> <Menu> <Name>HamRadio</Name> <Deleted/> </Menu> <Exclude> <Filename>kde-ksimus.desktop</Filename> </Exclude> </Menu> </Menu> This looks OK. But the entry Ksimus is NOT removed. It still shows up in the K menu. And when I reopen the kmenuedit panel, the KSimus is back again even though it appeared to be deleted before. I delete it again, but nothing changes. Same result. **** It appears that kmenuedit is writing correctly to the XML file ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu, but that both it and the panel K Menu directory are ignoring what is written there. **** A similar thing happens when I open kmenueidt and then move KSimus from Lost & Found to Utilities. It does show up in Utilities, but it is not deleted from Lost & Found. The file ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu now reads: <!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd";> <Menu> <Menu> <Name>Applications</Name> <Menu> <Name>HamRadio</Name> <Deleted/> </Menu> <Exclude> <Filename>kde-ksimus.desktop</Filename> </Exclude> </Menu> <Menu> <Name>Utilities</Name> <Include> <Filename>kde-ksimus.desktop</Filename> </Include> </Menu> </Menu> Ksimus now shows up in BOTH the Utilities AND the Lost & Found directories in the panel K Menu. **** -- no debconf information
