Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Since Revision 789264 of kdelibs/kded/applications.menu, the Utilities submenu has become a huge mess collecting all categories of X-KDE-More applications, including Graphics, Internet, Multimedia, Office & System, not just Utilities. Please exlude <Category>X-KDE-More</Category> from the main directory of Utilities by changing this: <Include> <Or> <Category>Utility</Category> <Category>TextEditor</Category> <Category>Accessibility</Category> <Category>X-KDE-Utilities-Desktop</Category> <Category>X-KDE-Utilities-File</Category> <Category>X-KDE-Utilities-Peripherals</Category> <Category>X-KDE-Utilities-PIM</Category> <Category>X-KDE-More</Category> </Or> </Include> to this: <Include> <And> <Category>Utility</Category> <Not><Category>X-KDE-More</Category></Not> </And> <Category>TextEditor</Category> <Category>Accessibility</Category> <Category>X-KDE-Utilities-Desktop</Category> <Category>X-KDE-Utilities-File</Category> <Category>X-KDE-Utilities-Peripherals</Category> <Category>X-KDE-Utilities-PIM</Category> </Include> (Undominated <Or></Or> tags may be safely deleted.) This move keeps the Utilities menu flat without littering it with all categories of non-Utilities.
Created attachment 25104 [details] patch to fix Utilities menu
I suppose that this bug should be marked as wish. The "X-KDE-More" is still included in Utilities submenu of applications.menu in KDE4.2 svnRev.851858
This is no longer an svn bug: it has entered KDE 4.1.0 and is passed on to KDE 4.1.1. You will not suffer from this bug if you are using Kubuntu because the bug has been fixed downstream. You will not suffer from it in openSUSE either because openSUSE has never used the upstream applications.menu. You will only notice this bug if you are using a distribution that does not change the upstream applications.menu and does not modify the Categories fields of the .desktop files either. Log in to Fedora Rawhide and install kdegraphics, kdeutils, koffice-core, koffice-kchart and koffice-kformula. Now you will see the mess! KColorChooser & KRuler will be listed in both Graphics/More and Utilities main. They will be listed in Graphics/More because they have both Graphics and X-KDE-More in their Categories fields. They will be listed in Utilities main because whatever has X-KDE-More in its Categories field will be listed there with no restriction. KChart, KFormula & Kthesaurus will be listed in both Office/More and Utilities main because they have both Office and X-KDE-More in their Categories fields. KDiskFree and KwikDisk will be listed in both System/More and Utilities main because they have System and X-KDE-More in their Categories fields. Finally, KCharSelect, KTimer and Sweeper will be listed in both Utilities main and Utilities/More. They will be listed in Utilities/More because they have both Utility and X-KDE-More in their Categories fields. They will be listed in Utilities main because whatever has X-KDE-More in its Categories field will be listed there. You may also test this bug in Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex provided that you manually replace Kubuntu's kde-applications.menu with the upstream applications.menu. Now install the following packages and experience the bug just like in Fedora. Don't forget to replace kde-applications.menu with the upstream applications.menu! apt-get install kcharselect, kcolorchooser, kdf, kruler, ktimer, sweeper Unfortunately, if you are using openSUSE then you are out of luck ;) You won't be able to test this bug no matter how much you try because your distribution heavily customizes both the applications.menu and the .desktop files.
(In reply to comment #3) > You will not suffer from this bug if you are using Kubuntu because the bug has > been fixed downstream. Correction: Yes, Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex is affected, too. kde4-applications.menu is not fixed downstream. Install kcharselect, kcolorchooser, kdf, kruler, ktimer & sweeper and you will see the mess just like in Fedora Rawhide.
*** Bug 170429 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Could someone who can commit changes to svn checkout https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kded/ and apply applications.menu-utilities.patch to kded/applications.menu, please? http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=25104
Kubuntu fixed this bug downstream with kubuntu_09_fix_application_menu.diff.
Confirmed, I can take care of it.
