Seemingly quite a few programs have gone amiss into "Applications" rather than their rightful categorised places (SUSE 9.0). I have no idea why this has happened, but certainly would appreciate knowing the fix.

Get the update for kdelibs3 that's been issued today.

Hm... Looks like I had the similar problem. I had this with Opera, which was not correctly uninstalled/upgraded since 8.2. I located the opera.desktop file in /opt/kde3/* which did not belong to any package and deleted it. Then, as Fred Miller wrote, I ran `kbuildsycoca --noincremental`. Seems like everything is fine with the KDE-menu now. Alex.
