You neglected to state which desktop you're using. If it's KDE:
# cd ~/.kde/share # mkdir applnk That's what it should be in 7.2. I only used 8.0 for a few weeks before reverting to 7.2, but I remember I had this working in 8.0... You might have to make an applnk-mdk directory instead, but try applnk first -- you can always mv it to applnk-mdk if applnk doesn't work. Now, look at the directory structure /usr/share/applnk-mdk. Figure out where you want your menu to appear. Duplicate the menu structure in ./kde/share/applnk so it's exactly the same for whatever branch of the tree you decide to use. Put your *.desktop file into this directory. For example, to put a mozilla icon under Networking/WWW # cd ~/.kde/share # mkdir applnk # cd applnk # mkdir Networking # cd Networking # mkdir WWW # cd WWW # cp /usr/share/applnk/Networking/WWW/konqbrowser.desktop mozilla.desktop # vi mozilla.desktop # [make changes and save] voila! Results in the desktop K menu tree should be immediate, but if they're not, log out and log back in again. Doing it this way ensures your custom menu's stay where you want them... no matter how often you change RPM's. -Al Andersen On Sunday 18 November 2001 08:52, Timothy R.Butler wrote: > > Hi again everyone, > As you may remember from last week, I had been having some trouble with > KNewsTicker.
