OK, I use 'Classic Menu" already. I'm an old foggy that way. I just edited the menu yesterday, and this morning that change is in the popup menu. So my problem is different than finding the menu. I have arranged the menu(s) in the editor to display in the order I want them. This works fine when clicking on the Application Button in the task bar. I also have an Application Launcher widget on the desktop which displays the menu as I have arranged it. This was my work around for not being able to popup a menu with the mouse button. But now the menu that pops up with the mouse button is displayed in a different arrangement. The problem this causes me is that I have a submenu of remote machines that I can ssh to, opening a new konsole window for the connection. I have edited those to be in alphabetical order so that I can find the one I want quickly (they are named xnode1 - xnode61), but when I open that submenu in the popup, they are arranged in some scattered order. Perhaps this is a bug in the display of the menu? I have edited the menu many times, and when I look at the xml, its very jumbled. Is there a program that can read whats there, and write a new file in the final order? I have taken a try at doing this in an editor, but I keep ending up with something that is unusable. > > > This was a feature from KDE 3 that I really missed when I transitioned to > > KDE 4.
