Description brad 2008-03-15 21:47:48 UTC

Version:           0.7 (using 3.5.9, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-ARCH

When I try to save changes with the KDE Menu Editor as a user, it tries to save it to /root/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu rather than ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu. Changes save just fine as root account.

Excuse me but there's any solution to this bug? A patch, a trick, something that can fix it? Thank you

what is the value of the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the user with the problem?

Sorry, but I moved off that platform a long time ago.  I don’t even have the 
PC that it was installed on anymore.

Ok, looks like it was set to point to a root location which it couldn't write to.  Shouldn't happen really.  Thanks for the quick response.
