KDE3.2 menu updating and XDG
Hi
I have recently compiled 3.2 on a Sparc(Solaris) server and I am now configuring it to be able to handle approx 600 users using thin clients (SunRay). I had many troubles with the new vfolder system, but I found out that $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and $XDG_DATA_DIRS were the pointers to the setup and I found the specs at freedesktop.org.
Now I am working with the setup, but I cannot update the menu in a resonable way. If I change the menu for all users and log in with my testuser, the menu hasn't changed. It gets updated if I delete the kde-dirs on the account or if I run kmenuedit and saves without changing anything.
If the users have to run kmenuedit to get a new release of the menu I'm creating, I am sure that I'll get many support issues concerning that. Is there a command I can run during login eg.:
startkde --someoption
Regards
Christian
The kbuildsycoca program should have updated the structure on startup.
You could try running it in startkde explicitly.
However the descibed behaviour sounds like a bug and should probably reported on bugs.kde.org

Thank you. That helped
I'm not sure that it is a bug, because I have compiled KDE 3.2 on a Solaris server and I had several problems with qt and some libs. Furthermore Solaris has a strange dynamic /tmp.
There is a kde-solaris mailinglist.
If you feel a problem could be related to KDE on Solaris, I think this list is the place you'll most likely get answers.
Cheers,
