The other day I went to install crossover and see what all that hub-bub was about, got it installed and working no problem, but then went to run a different program from the K-menu and all the menu entries were gone.
It turns out that it adds the directory ~/.kde3/share/applnk/CrossOver/... and then for some reason nothing gets read as the menu for kde3. After running menudrake again and saving everything the directory ~/.kde3/share/applnk-mdk/ has all the menu items that the global applnk-mdk should have and still nothing gets displayed in the k-menu. Only after I delete the contents of applnk-mdk, move the applnk/CrossOver dir to applnk-mdk and then remove the applnk dir does the k-menu function the way it "should". (all those references to applnk dirs are .kde3 applnk dirs, not /opt/kde3...) I'm not sure if the problem is with kde3 rc3 not being able to handle 4 different applnk dirs (/opt/kde3/share/applnk, /opt/kde3/share/applnk-mdk, ~/.kde3/share/applnk, ~/.kde3/share/applnk-mdk), or with menudrake putting all the menu items in ~/.kde3.... although I'm sure it should be adding some menu entries there for the per user customization what not from menudrake. The problem could also be with crossover's install script, but no one over on their mailing list has complained of this problem... -Elliott Martin
