Does anyone know where they have hidden the menu editor in KDE4.2? Open
Office has not been picked up in the menu's correctly but there does not
appear to be any way to manually add it or re-scan the system for
applications - things you could do in KDE 3.x.

I think this was discussed recently and the solution was right click on the
KDE menu icon; this also works in 3.5 And from my brief foray into 4.x, I
seem to remember this working for me.

But I've reverted to 3.5 for the foreseeable future :-)

Run kmenuedit (from /usr/bin) from the command line. The first thing
you would add to your menus would be kmenuedit.

This pretty much sums up slackware, if not all of linux. In order
to edit a gui menu, one has to run a command from bash.

Just hilarious.

KDE certainly looks great, though. We will be setting up our
pirated version of Windoze 7 this weekend, hopefully, and you will
be pleased to know that we will post a complete report to this
newsgroup..

cordially, as always,

I can confirm the right-click method. Just right-click on the Kicker and
select the menu editor option.
