Hi all. I have made my own rpm's of kde cvs 3.2 branch starting with just arts, kdelibs and kdebase. They compile and install fine but when I start kdm and login as a user I have the following problems. kmenu items [all applications] is greyed out and inactive [no entries] is light grey and inactive [actions] is greyed out and inactive There are no menu items for the installed applications eg. Kate, konqueror etc. even though I can run the binarys from konqueror or the command line. clicking on the control menu brings up the control panel menu item but does nothing. clicking on the home icon does nothing. using [alt f2] and selecting a program from the dropdown list it immediately activates. From following the list it appears that no-one else has this problem so it must be me :). There was one mention about menu problems with the xdg directory but I can't see any problem with that. It has the same problems regardless whether it is in /etx/xdg or in `kdePrefix`/etc/xdg. The rpm's I have made are nothing special and I have had the same problems since 2003-11-13 when I first compiled the spec files. If someone in the know could have a look at these rpm spec files and tell me if it is an obvious GIGO or if you could compile the rpm's from the spec files and tell me if you experience the same symptoms it would be greatly appreciated. The versions I am using are:- Arts 1.2 branch from cvs Kdelibs 3.2 branch from cvs Kdebase 3.2 branch from cvs Qt-copy 3.2 branch from cvs All were downloaded on the same day and time (2004-01-25) and tarballed in the format `name`-`date`.tar.bz2 eg arts-20040125.tar.bz2, qt-copy-20040125, etc. I am calling for help as I am stuck and have no idea as to what to do next. -- Shane Shields Registered LFS Compiler: 7582 To drink the WINE of success you must first seek the sayings of source Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.
