I've seen this question asked many times, but never seen a simple answer: Where exactly is the list of items in the main F/Start menu kept?
~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu If you have for some reason change your kmenu list, you can reset it by rm ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu
I added Kontact to the menu by right-clicking on the F icon, and going into Menu Editor, but I would have thought there was already an entry for Kontact somewhere on the system?
Yes, there is a default entry of kontact which fedora ships :) As Rex said it's in the office category. chitlesh(~)[0]$cat /usr/share/applications/kde/Kontact.desktop | grep Categories Categories=Qt;KDE;Office;
I suppose another way to ask my question is: What decides which items are on the menu?
what decides: the desktop files in /usr/share/applications/ ls /usr/share/applications/ It's the Category field in the desktop file: Kontact.desktop defines where it will be located in the kmenu. Regards, Chitlesh -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com
