I've been trying to alter the main KDE menu but it seems to be reset
when I login again. The KDE entries have been placed in a "default"
menu and GNOME programs in my "personal" menu. This is with
Linux-Mandrake 7.0, all Window managers installed. I want the GNOME
stuff in a separate submenu, and the programs I use and know what
they do in my personal menu. I don't want to just delete items in the
present personal menu, the gnome menus are useful for trying things
out and finding out what they do.
I tried putting the files and folders in ~/.kde/share/applnk into a
special Gnome subdirectory but KDE didn't let me move certain files.
I logged in as root and it worked then, but KDE switched everything
back to the old situation when I logged in again as user. The second
time I used the KDE menu editor and had the basic setup I wanted, but
when I logged in again, everything was reset. There's still a GNOME
submenu with everything in the "personal" menu so I'm not doing
something silly like modifying things in root and finding no changes
in user. Logging in is slow too, it takes a minute or so longer as
KDE resets everything to the original installation. KDE is a bit too
much like Windows 95, thinks it knows what you want better than you
do. Any solutions? An alternative app-launcher might be good,
something like on-cue or Apollo for the Macintosh, if anyone is
familiar with those.
Advance thanks for any help,
John Hendrickx
