And, I see: Weird, my KControl.desktop files does have this third category but they still work. According to the spec [1] "Core" is one of the registered Categories. Can you check if it makes a difference when you reorder the three list items? (e.g. Qt;Core;KDE) Do any of the .desktop files installed in /usr/share/applications contain "Core" or "Settings"? > You'll probably know the answer to this or at least where to find it, > but is it possible that KDe doesn't recognize "Core" and "Settings" as > menu categories? Is it possible that's what the root of the problem is? No, that shouldn't be the cause. The KControl.desktop file from our repository [2] contains the "Core" part and I am pretty sure this would have been removed if it weren't supported.
