kde user menus

[Pierre A. Fortier]

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of that. However, I installed a 
non-KDE program (acroread) which I would like to appear in the KDE menus 
of all users.

Check that the application installed its .desktop file into the right 
location.
The freedeskop.org specification says that would be a subdirectory of 
/usr/share/applications
KDE before 3.2 uses KDEPREFIX/share/applnk

It should automatically appear in the menu, at least at KDE restart or 
fater 
running kbuildsycoca.

If it was installed by the package manager the distributions menu 
updater 
might have failed.

Cheers,
Kevin
