I noticed that there is a /usr/share/applnk directory, in addition to /etc/skel/.kde/share/applnk and ~/.kde/share/applnk. Is the one in /etc/skel the only one used to create the kmenu? Or is the one in /usr used as the basis for the kmenu, and the one in /etc/skel that gets copied to ~ when booting is like appended to the one found in /usr?
I'm having trouble right now with a new kmenu on my remaster, where before I didn't have any trouble. This time, though I went in and tried to remove things that have been uninstalled, instead of just adding new items. I saw the applnk in /usr/share and though maybe that was what was causing me so much trouble....
Edit: Ok, the ~/.kde/share/applnk is all ok getting copied from /etc/skel and is set the way I like it when I boot. Yet, KDE's menu is not derived from these files. It's still using the original kmenu. I've copied the applnk folder's contents to /usr/share/applnk, etc/skel/.kde/share/applnk, and to /usr/share/knoppix/profile/.kde/share/applnk. Now I'm recompressing the CD for like the 5th time today. I'm betting some script is overriding my kmenu. But as far as I can tell, any places where the original kmenu files were kept have been rewritten with my custom kmenu files.
I'd bet a lot of money that my custom kmenu works fine if I create a persistent home, which means its definitely a script somewhere causing this trouble.
