All,
KDE3 works fine on 15.4. There are still a few loose ends and some stray dependency issues from libpython 2.7, but other than a few hiccups, it is running great.
One thing I immediately noticed was kmenu is no longer organized into convenient submenus (like the submenus under "Utilities", etc... All apps for Utilities are just dumped under Utilities with no submenus at all.
I have opened a bug and will find time this weekend to look further. It is:
I would install some other desktop, and check the menu there, to find out if it is only a kde3 issue or global.
Will do. Hard to tell. It would have to be either Gnome or Plasma, I'm not sure that any of the other desktops follow the xdg-menu specification that closely. I'm going to pick around in the /opt directory and see if there is anything that stands out. I recall running up against the code that handles categorization in TDE 10 or so years ago, but never seen it just not work. The khelpscenter balks on first use complaining it can't find "susehelp:/", but after a quick "Alt+F2" and entering "khelpcenter" it is all working. Other than a few other nits, KDE3 is in great shape on 15.4. It just takes a long damn time to start an install from scratch and get it all configured the way you want. Mail, scripts, aliases, app config. I intentionally want to configure it all instead of just block copying config files from 15.0. S L O W process... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
