The Gnome (well, ok, Ximian-Gnome) menus are fine, and were fine. Originally, after I installed Ximian, my KDE menus and my SuSE menus went away, and I was left with Gnome-ish menus only. Those did not include any K-related stuff, nor most of the many hundreds of SuSE apps and applets. I implemented the FAQ on the Ximian site, which added my KDE and SuSE menus back into the overall menu scheme, where they have been ever since. So, now I have a Ximian-Gnome scheme with the Gnome-ish panel and the Gnome-ish menus, which also include big KDE and SuSE icons. The KDE item in the menu opens what looks like the full K complement, and every one that I've tried... works. The SuSE item in the menu opens SuSE sub-menus (categories) and even some sub-sub-menus, but the actual apps and applets are not there. The final item at the tip of each SuSE menu branch is just a [-]... a dash-in-a-box, that does nothing but "open" a little micro-window thing that has no contents and can be moved or closed... but nothing else. I tried your suggested /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.susewm, from a terminal, su'd as root. The prompt went away and after 30 seconds or so, it came back. No other activity was apparent. I tried the same thing with "&" appended, and got "[1] 1610" and the terminal prompt came back immediately. Neither attempt had any effect on the SuSE menus. If there are all sorts of flags and qualifiers and appendages and arguments that a Linux-qualified person normally assumes to accompany such a command, I don't know about them. There was nothing in man pages or Info pages to tell me different. I've got the sneaking suspicion that something was supposed to have happened... what? Oh, and one final point: I didn't fire up Ximian from KDM. I launched it from gdm. But, if I recall correctly, in times before Ximian, I had sometimes launched "regular" Gnome instead of KDE, and my SuSE and KDE menus were available, so I'm sure the SuSE menus got broken after Ximian-Gnome /kevin On Tue, 2002-02-26 at 15:01, Richard Bos wrote:
Just curious; Are the menus broken system wide, or for 1 users only? Does it get broken after selecting "gnome-sesssion" from kdm or directly after installing the ximian rpm's?
Does it help to run /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.susewm? This can be achieved via SuSEconfig --module susewm. If not perhaps the script can provide ideas to correct the ximian stuff :)

Maybe we should ask the question differently.
Has ANYBODY used both SuSE 7.x and Ximian-Gnome and gotten their SuSE menus to properly integrate/appear within the desktop menu system? -- Kevin McLauchlan Chrysalis-ITS, Inc. "Ultimate Trust(TM)"
