Copying Kmenu content
I have created a user account, lets say operator1, and manually edited KMenu to to suit operator needs. I created menu with kmenuedit program. Now I want to create a new account, operator2, and this new operator2 should have equal menu as operator1.
Is there a way to copy menu content from one user account to another?

I think it stores the changes in .local/share somewhere

Yes! I agree it propably saves changes somewhere.
Now we just have to dig out where the somewhere is located.

I don't know if KMenuEdit works with old KDE structures or the new freedesktop.org standard ones.
KDE >= 3.2 should do the latter, the standard location for menu data is .local/share/applications but this can be changed by certain environment variables.
Check the menu-spec and xdg-directory spec on standards.freedesktop.org

I think it depends on your distro. However for SuSE the settings for an user are in ~/.kde/share/applnk whether the standard menu is in /opt/kde3/share/applnk
The user directory only stores different entries from the ones in the standard dir.
Hope I've understood your question

That was it!
I just copied .kde/share directory, made some file owner changes and now I have two user accounts with similar desktop environment.
This was done in RedHat WS3.
Thank you guys!
Pasi.
