I had a nice long answer for this, and, for the first time, sylpheed froze
and I lost it. Damn.
Global menu definitions are stored in files in $KDEDRR/share/applnk, and
mime definitions are in $KDEDRR/share/mimelnk. The files in these
directories cross-reference each other.
To remove an application from the K menu, do NOT delete tthe file in
the applnk directory. Instead, add this to the file:
NoDisplay: true
A shell script to do this would be straight forward.
To add an item, just add a definition file to $KDEDRR/share/applnk, like the
following:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=RSofT Configuration Editor
Name[C]=RSofT Configuration Editor
Comment[C]=RSofT Configuration Editor
SwallowExec=
SwallowTitle=
BinaryPattern=
MimeType=rsoft/configuration
Exec=rxvt -geometry 80x30 -e dtwrap change
Icon=hwinfo.xpm
TerminalOptions=
Path=
Type=Application
Terminal=0
NoDisplay=true
The file should have an extension of .desktop. I called this file
Change.desktop.
To make a submenu, make a directory in $KDEDRR/share/applnk and put these
files in that directory.
To add a mimetype, add it to $KDEDRR/share/mimelnk. Here is the one that
works with the applink above:
[KDE Desktop Entry]
Comment=RSofT Configuration
Comment[C]=RSofT Configuration
Hidden=false
DefaultApp=Change
Icon=pipe.xpm
Type=MimeType
Patterns=acc.rst;rutdepth.rst;aies.rst;fifo.rst;mca.rst;sampler.rst;
MimeType=rsoft/configuration
The DefaultApp refers to the file name of the application in the applnk
directory.
So, it is all just a bunch of small files.
If you want to do a change for a specific user, put the same files in
$HOME/.kde2/share.
I would imagine that to hide a global menu for just one user would require
that you copy thr applnk file to the user's applnk directory and add the
NoDisplay line.
(My lost answer was better, but time...)
