Not true. Installed from mdk rpm from 8.1 installion. But I _do_ have Mandrake customisation for menus disabled. My menu entry for gkrellm is in /home/peter/.kde/share/applnk/System as well as in /usr/share/applnk-mdk/Applications/Monitoring. > > - /usr/share/autostart is read before menus and does not cause > conflicts Yes, I believe it is - it certainly runs before ~/.kde/Autostart - think about it - kicker is started from /usr/share/autostart - that should paint a picture of when it runs. > > I am interested in what applies here. > > In any case I consider it a bug in KDE and probably will report I to > KDE ... > > Cheers > > -andrej -- Peter Ruskin, Wrexham, Wales. rm -rf /bin/laden sharon Registered Linux User No. 219434 ( see http://counter.li.org/ ).
