I have been half studying this problem for weeks now trying to figure out what is up with the menus on Mandrake 8.2 and crossover. Perhaps it was something i did. I finally decided to install from fresh and then it still took some playing with to figure out how to get it right. Menudrake didnt even seem to pull up the right config file. and where it saved it is still a mystery to me, although I am not the brightest light in the string of christmas lights. Could someone who knows give a mini how-to on mandrake menus and which one goes with which kde version and how it is supposed to be working when kde and kde3 in kdm still start kde3 when /etc/profile.d/kde3.sh exists.
