Hmm... I checked the permissions on these files and
got:
for .local:
drwx------ 3 desktopuser root 4096 2004-09-01
16:22 .local/
the contents of .local:
drwx------ 5 desktopuser root 4096 2005-04-25 13:03
share/
the contents of .local/share
drwx------ 4 desktopuser root 4096 2005-04-25 13:03
Trash/
drwx------ 2 desktopuser root 4096 2005-10-28 18:33
applications/
drwx------ 2 desktopuser root 4096 2004-12-04 15:13
desktop-directories/
So if desktopuser is my user, and has full permission
to these files, what's the problem? Does it matter if
the group is root?
anyways, the next thing I did was look inside
~/.local/share/applications and there's a whole lot of
.desktop files in there. The ones that are definitely
NOT showing up in kmenu are the ones in group "bin".
The ones that DO show up in kmenu are in group "root".
I COULD just go an chgrp them all, but this won't
really fix the problem because the next time I go to
use kmenudeit I'll probably just have to chgrp
again...
