I need to add a desktop menu in KDE to a number of FC4 machines to hold Mathematical applications. I read the menu spec at freedesktop.org and cooked up the following, in /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/uh-mathematics.menu: <!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd";> <Menu> <Name>Applications</Name> <Menu> <Name>Mathematics</Name> <Directory>UH-Mathematics.directory</Directory> <Include> <And> <Category>Math</Category> </And> </Include> </Menu> </Menu> The /usr/share/desktop-directories/UH-Mathematics.directory file contains: [Desktop Entry] Name=Mathematics Icon=mathematics.png Type=Directory Encoding=UTF-8 I drop these, along with an icon, into a little RPM. Now, this works fine: a new desktop menu named "Mathematics" appears, and all applications with category "Math" appear there. Great. But the Mathematics menu also appears as a submenu of Preferences and System Settings and System Settings -> Server Settings, all with identical content. Any ideas on how I can get the menu, but have it appear only as an Application menu and not all over the place? - J<
