You will probably get a good reply long before you read this (tomorrow is a public holiday in my country and I won't be online) but here goes: KDE and Gnome use the freedesktop menu structure, it is documented at http://www.freedesktop.org in the Standards section. IIRC the document is called xdg-something... Anyways, the menus are not a simple structure, they consist of system-wide and user-specific XML menu files with .desktop files are the individual elements in the menu. The system wide stuff is usually in /etc/xdg or /usr/kde/3.5/etc/xdg/ The user-specific stuff is usually in ~/kde or other places... alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
