Hi,

I want to add an application button for XNC (XNorthern Captain file manager) the KDE panel. My problem is that I can't find XNC under application button when I right click the panel.

I'm running KDE 3.2.2 on SuSE 9.0.

Thanks,

brian

You can add XNC to that "add application" menu, then it will be available:
- Right-click the "K" icon and start the menu editor
(or run kmenuedit from the command line)
- Add a new entry where you think it will fit
- Fill out the fields for that entry, especially the "command" one
(here you give the command to start (including any options you may want), e.g. xnc --whatever-option))
- Save and exit
- Try again to add XNC to the KDE panel

I tried this but the command field was inactive. When I ram kmenuedit from console I got the following error:

kmenuedit: WARNING: Could not read /root/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu

Hmmm, are you trying this as root? If so try as a normal user.

If you didn't run it as root then what is the output of the following commands?

echo $HOME
echo $KDEHOME
echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS
