Tim, Robert, Serghei, Ilya, all:
Here are patches for kdelibs, kdebase, kdegraphics and kdepim that fix the
kmenu applications entries that were ending up under "More Programs" submenus
because they didn't have a home. The files affected are:
kdelibs:
kdelibs/kded/applications.menu
kdebase:
kdebase/konsole/konsolesu.desktop
kdebase/konqueror/konquerorsu.desktop
kdebase/kcontrol/kfontinst/viewpart/kfontview.desktop
kdepim
/home/david/tblds/trinity-kdepim/korn/KOrn.desktop
kdegraphics
/home/david/tblds/trinity-kdegraphics/src/kdegraphics/kruler
Screenshots of the System and Internet kmenu entries are here:

http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/trinity-kmenu-InternetEmail.jpg
A new custom 'Category' of 'X-KDE-System-su' was created in
applications.menu
to accommodate the SuperUser submenu.
Go ahead an apply the patches to a work copy and see what you think. It all
works as it is supposed to. The xfw, xfi, etc.. apps still need to be moved out
of 'Utilities' to a submenu. I'm thinking Utilities/X-Utilities unless
somebody
has a better idea.
Getting rid of the "More Applications" submenus really makes Trinity start to
look like a (getting)-finished product.
Ilya, look over what I did and make sure it is all OK. I did it using
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html as a reference, so
it should be close. The only thing there wasn't a clear reference for was adding
the:
<Directory>kde-system-su.directory</Directory>
entries in applications.menu. Looking at all the other entries, that looks like
what was needed. Let me know. Thanks.
Enjoy :)

Great! :) I give +1 for approval. The "Email" category might be up for
debate, however. I'm not sure about XDG for that.
However, in the future, we may not be able to keep using X-KDE-*,
because that will start conflicting with KDE4. On Fedora, they've
moved everything to X-KDE3-*; a future point may be X-Trinity? idk.
(added to checklist though)

sed can take care of that easily enough in the future ;-)
find ./ -type f -iname "*.desktop" -exec sed -i 's/X-KDE-/X-Trinity-/g'

Do we want X-Trinity or X-TDE ? Your call :)

Yeh, I'm not sure about the KDE4 conflict, I was just sticking to what was
documented in the spec:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html
<quote>
Extensions to the desktop entry format
<snip> Categories not in this document must be prefixed by the string
"X-"
indicating that they are extensions. Categories are case-sensitive.
</quote>
Since the specification is applicable to all desktops (gnome and the rest), I
know the 'X-' part is correct. I see your point with the 'KDE' part. From
the
reading, there is no reason we can do something like 'X-TDE' and be OK. We
should just do that from now on. When we tweak the menus again to fix the xfi,
xfw apps, we'll change the KDE to TDE and be done with it :)

Ahh....
The xyz apps don't have anything to do with Trinity! Those are just from an
xfe install I did when I first setup the VMs to build Trinity (duh.....) Those
are checked-off the list.
But, if any of you are running a lightweight desktop on an old
box/server/etc.. where you want a lightweight file manager, gui editor, picture
viewer, etc..., you can't beat the xfe package of tools. For a lightweight
standalone package of apps they are actually quite good.
