Hi, Y'All
I recently installed FC2 on an old IBM Aptiva that I had hanging around. When I did so, my KDE menu contained an entry for gnome-system-monitor (System Monitor) under "System Tools". I was very happy, because while I generally prefer KDE to gnome, I did like the gnome-system-monitor tool. However, one unhappy day the menu entry for System Monitor disappeared. Now, I can still start the monitor manually, but being a point-and-click kind of guy I wanted my beloved menu entry back again. I went into the KDE Menu Editor and added a new entry to the System Tools submenu, entered the application path and other such goodies, and saved the menu. After exiting the menu editor no changes were evident. "Aha", says I, "I have to reinit the KDE desktop." So I logged off and back on. No change. I rebooted. No change. I'd be happy to edit a menu template file manually, if that's what it takes (and if I knew where to find it). Does anyone know how to change the KDE application menus and make it stick?
Cheers,
Gordon Keehn
I've been having a similar problem lately. Simply stated, I cant add or delete anything from the KDE Menus... I think it started when I installed WineX/Cedega 4.0 & Point2Play, but I'm not sure if that is when it happened or not because it wasnt something I noticed right away. I havent been able to add any menu items to the KDE Menu since then. If I run kmenuedit from the command line, I get the following error message when adding menu items:
[grant@virus boincsrc]$ kmenuedit [grant@virus boincsrc]$ X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 20 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x300079e
The Resource id is usually different every time the error is displayed, but Major opcode and Minor opcode are always 20 and 0, respectively.
Any help on solving this problem would be much appreciated. I've had to resort to adding links to the desktop rather than putting stuff in the menus.
