this only affects the KDE menu tree... Basically the "kdebase" menu-method looks for "kderemove" and if it finds it it doesn't create a .desktop file under /var/lib/kde/menu... No other menu-method currently uses that tag and therefore will ignore it. And no other Window Manager uses the menu structure under /var/lib/kde/menu. If you still don't understand you should read up on menu. Take a look at /usr/share/doc/menu/* (If you have menu installed...which if you dont' you probably don't have a Debian subment off of the KDE menu). Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
