I don't know the answer to this, but it might be buried in one of the .desktop files in /usr/share/kde4/services. I know krunner gets info from there, and many other things look there for 'keywords'. It's obviously not something you are intended to alter, but if you find it, I don't see why not. I don't actually ever remember seeing the facility to alter it in KDE3 either - where did you do it there? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase
