I've just downloaded and built kcdlabel. It works fine if I click on it. I'd like to add it to my menu, but I have two (minor, I'm sure) problems:
(1) I can't find anything on adding a reference to it to the menus in the documentation. I'm sure I'm looking in the wrong places, but I really can't find out how to do this.
Kicker (start) system - tools - menu editor
At the risk of *REALLY* sounding dumb... I went to the menu editor (thanks for pointing it out) and added KCDLabel to one of the groups. I can call the editor up again, and I see the item there. When I open the menu and go to that group, however, it's not there. I thought I might need to restart KDE, so I did - it's still not there. I'm obviously either leaving something out or doing something wrong. Thee is no reference to "menu editor" in the SUSE documentation. How do I get the new app to show up on the menu? -- Satterwhite's Observation #2: In any situation in which theory conflicts with reality, reality wins every time.

IIANM, menu editor is a KDE app. It is editing a different menu. You probably are using the SuSE menu, not the KDE menu. Check Control Center>Appearance and Themes>Menu Settings (3.1), and try using the KDE menu. You should see your changes then. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

You're right. Thanks much; I'm still learning my way around, and feel like a real klutz here. One more question, if you don't mind: if I had wanted to put it on the SUSE menu, would that have been possible? I'm sure the answer to that is yes as I haven't seen much that isn't possible in Linux. I'm trying to work my way through *HOW* things work, though so I don't have to ask so many dumb questions. Thanks again. -- Satterwhite's Observation #2: In any situation in which theory conflicts with reality, reality wins every time.

You will find under the main menu tree a sub-menu called SuSE. Just select the appropiate sub-menu under SuSE and add your entry there. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

I have never used the menu editor, so I can't answer that for sure, bur I suppose.

Like we all have figured out, the only dumb question is the one not asked. Basically, the kde menu is under /opt/kde3/share/applink, suse's are under /etc/opt/kde3/share/applink. You could always right click on your desktop, create the .desktop file (link to application), then move it (as root) to the correct directory. One nice thing about the SuSE menu is its integration with SuSEconfig and Yast.
