Assuming you haven't somehow messed up your installation of KDE (in which case you might like to ask on kde@xxxxxxxxxxx), it might be an XDG menu-related problem. Try setting the following environment variables before starting KDE (I do it in ~/.xinitrc and start KDE with 'startx'): export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KDEDIR/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$KDEDIR/etc/xdg Regards, Philip -- KDE Documentation Team: http://i18n.kde.org/doc KDE Documentation Online: http://docs.kde.org ___________________________________________________ .
