I have been trying for DAYS to edit my start menu. There is an entry called 'Extras' that contains entries that fit into the other categories and I was trying to clean it up a bit. However, it won't let me because I am not using the root account. No problem... I log out and login as root, and use kmenuedit. Problem solved. Nope... My changes, as far as cutting and pasting the entries elsewhere took, but the 'Extras' entry is still present. Now I have two shortcuts to all of the files I cut and pasted (the originals and the new copies). I have been chasing entries in the .kde/share... directory along with /usr/share.... and /var/lib.... to no avail. I deleted the 'Extras' entries in these so-called 'vfolders' (what the heck are these things?) and the problems still exist. To make it even worse, none of the changes took effect in my mortal user profile, even after I copied the applnk-redhat file into the user's .kde/share..... directory. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do. I am pulling out the last of my hair here... Any help is greatly appreciated.
