Hihi

I'm rolling out a LTSP rollout, and we're using KDE as the desktop (because it is so Kool ) basically everything is going well, but I need to customize the KDE menu. The server is Gentoo Linux with KDE 3.2. All goes well when I change the menu, but next time the user logs in, the "lost & found" menu finds all the icons!

Fantastic feature, but is there any way to stop it?

Thankyou in advance,


Luke

Since a lot of people have viewed my question and nobody replied, I have contacted the maintainer, and thought I would post the reply for everyone

Yes, that's a somewhat unexpected side-effect. If you look at the
applications.menu you will find that it has a part that reads:

<Menu>
<Name>Applications</Name>
<Directory>kde-unknown.directory</Directory>
<OnlyUnallocated/>

The <OnlyUnallocated/> makes that it includes all entries that are not
included anywhere else in the menu. Unfortunately when you delete an entry
somewhere, it then starts to match this qualification. I will see if I can
fix that somehow. Till then you could remove <OnlyUnallocated/>
