Post-SuSEconfig, what tool takes its place? NAICT, xdg-desktop-menu may be what SuSEconfig used, and what to use since, bug as is normal for man pages, http://linux.die.net/man/1/xdg-desktop-menu lacks examples that make its prose understandable. Neither does it explain whether it's designed for global use (changing something in /etc/), or user level ($HOME only).
I honestly don't know about xdg-desktop-menu. I've edited the lizard-at-the-botton-left menu but I always use the gui too that comes up when I right-click-and-hold on it and select 'edit applications'. I get a gui titled 'KDE Menu Editor'. Running 'ps' tells me there is kmenuedit' running. http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kde-workspace/kmenuedit/using-kmenuedit.html
From a text-mode POV, the help file says
<quote> There is no way to transfer menu settings using the GUI, you have to do that manually and copy the following files to the target user: KMenuEdit stores the menu hierarchy in $HOME/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu and $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories contains desktop files for submenus you created. In $HOME/.local/share/applications/ you find the desktop files for the custom items you created. </quote> What is not clear in the help is whether the menu a new user is given is by copy from a template to those locations or a reference to a global set of defaults. Further: <quote> The shortcuts for each application are stored in ~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc, but export/import does not work because the UUIDs of the shortcuts do not match up between systems, even though the .desktop files are the same. You have to assign all shortcuts manually again. </quote> -- There is no greater mistake than the hasty conclusion that opinions are worthless because they are badly argued. Thomas H.
