Re: FC3 missing KDE menu items

If you use the menu editor and add a submenu to Accessories called "TextEditors" and the save it you should see some editors next time you look in there.

The category TextEditor seems to have been left out of the whole unified-desktop menu mess.

For system wide stuff you can probably just drop whatever *.desktop files from /usr/share/applications/kde into /usr/share/applnk and have them show up somewhere in the menus. I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but experimenting in that area is a start.

It also might be an upgrade issue. I installed ee (electric eyes), under FC2 and now after the upgrade I have ee submenus in almost evey menu group.

Unfortunately, this did not work. I've looked through /usr/share/applications/kde and /usr/share/applnk and whatever else I could think of but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how menus work in KDE. It is not obvious to me how KDE figures out what to add to the menu and how to arrange it. If someone can point me to some documentation that describes how the .desktop and .directory files are used by KDE, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
