Thanks, Dmitri-- I always check b.g.o and forget to check the forums. Anyway, your tip didn't help me (though it's good to know), but I did find something on the forums that did (thanks, vipernicus!): "I put in a bug report about a month ago on this, still no response. So far the only thing I know of that you can do to fix this (though it will kill your gnome menu) is to do a: root# mv /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/gapplications.menu and your KDE Menu will be back to normal and when you want to use gnome menus again: root# mv /etc/xdg/menus/gapplications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu and your Gnome Menu will be back to normal It's annoying, but it works." Since my GNOME is already broken, I don't so much care that the GNOME menus are broken as well, and this did restore my KDE menu to standard. Guess I'll have to resign myself to being a KDE convert. At least it works. :( Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
