Well, I ran into another snag. This is really upsetting. I have desktop menu entries for the RPMs that I have built in /etc/opt/gnome/SuSE/System/Configuration/myapp.desktop /etc/opt/gnome/share/gnome/distribution-menus/SuSE/System/Configuration/myapp.desktop /etc/opt/gnome/share/gnome/distribution-menus/SuSE/System/myapp.desktop /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/Settings/myapp.desktop /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/System/Configuration/myapp.desktop /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/System/myapp.desktop (as stated in a previous followup). This works well when installed on an existing system. However, when these RPMs are installed during a network install, the entries are missing! linux:~ # rpm -V myapp missing /etc/opt/gnome/SuSE/System/Configuration/myapp.desktop missing /etc/opt/gnome/share/gnome/distribution-menus/SuSE/System/Configuration/myapp.desktop missing /etc/opt/gnome/share/gnome/distribution-menus/SuSE/System/myapp.desktop missing /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/Settings/myapp.desktop missing /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/System/Configuration/myapp.desktop missing /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/System/myapp.desktop linux:~ # How do I work with the [SuSE] system to get menu entries in KDE and gnome?!#$%?!!! -- Marc C.

Hi Eveyone,

I have made an RPM for SLES 8 and need to add an entry to eveyone's desktop (kicker) and gnome desktop menus. How do I do that?

In my RPM, I have placed it here:

/opt/kde3/share/applnk/System/myapp.desktop

and

/opt/gnome/share/apps/System/myapp.desktop

I have not checked to see if the gnome desktop link actualy gets entered however, the KDE one does not. It does appear here:

K -> Configure Panel -> Add -> Button -> System -> myapp

This is not where I want it to go. I need it here:

K -> System -> myapp

How do I do this?

Thanks
