This menu thing is a pain in the butt ! :)
I am using kdebase 1.1.2-44mdk and menu 2.1.5-8mdk and I get absolutely no
menus at all. I have to keep copying back all the applnk's from backup
otherwise nothing is available and nothing knows how to launch itself.
I agree "You shouldn't just rm the .kdelnk and .desktop files". It is very
presumptuous. To say "Yup, normal... The menu method deletes all
/usr/share/applnk" is a little poor. Surely it should make some attempt to
parse the current kdelnk's even if it simply asks if each one is to be kept or
deleted.
Forgive me, but your reply makes it sound like menu is your plaything and the
rest of us will have to find work arounds ! You may have a Perl script, so why
isn't included in meun ?!
