I hate to bring this problem up again, but I have yet to be able to add items to the KDE start menu as a normal user. I can do it as root, which is actually an improvement - because I couldn't even do this in 7.2 (KDE 2.1.x I think). As a user, I can make the addition in kmenuedit, and you can see the change in kmenuedit, but it never appears in the start menu (even after re-booting). Any & all suggestions greatly appreciated! TIA, Mike ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cleary_Mike@emc.com x6033 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Overflow on /dev/null, please empty the bit bucket.

Can you describe the steps you are taking to do this? It sounds to me like it may be a permissions problem.... and as a normal user you aren't being allowed to update your own user files..... You might want to blow away your ~/.kde or ~/.kde2 directory (or rename it) and try again.
