Description Justin Taylor 2004-11-25 21:14:29 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Two separate but possibly related issues.

1. I have a menu item that I cannot remove (it is not in a subitem).  I delete the item using kmenuedit and save the changes but the item is still there.  If I lanuch kmenuedit again, it is back.  Clicking the menu item does nothing.
2. I have items that show up on K menu multiple times.  They are under kmenuedit only once.  The items are contained in a subitem.  All of the menu items launch their assigned programs.

Please attach your ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu to this bugreport

Comment 2 Justin Taylor 2005-01-06 17:19:33 UTC

Created attachment 8952 [details]
applications-kmenuedit.menu

I accidentally inserted a separator and that resolved the problem of duplicate
menu items.  I still have the Kaffeine link at the base level of the menu that
does not work but cannot be removed.

Comment 3 Hans-Peter Hahn 2005-02-26 14:10:30 UTC

same problems unter kde 3.3 and Kaffeine sign -> duplicated, one doesn`t work and can not be removed

Comment 4 Andreas Trusow 2006-01-03 23:01:25 UTC

Same problem with this shit kaffeine icon under suse 10 kde 3.4

Comment 5 Graf Zahl 2006-03-04 09:50:53 UTC

I use KDE 3.5.1. in Kubuntu. I have this problem with the kaffeine icon as well. Klicking does nothing, and it will not vanish, even when deleted. It does not show, when starting "sudo kmenuedit".

Comment 6 Nils Weisensee 2006-03-24 17:19:09 UTC

I can confirm problem No. 2 - Moving or renaming certain items (not only Kaffeine) causes the duplication of random other items in the K-Menu, even though they only appear once in kmenuedit. I have observed this bug since Suse 9.1. Once some random items are duplicated, the only way to remove the duplicates is to delete ~/.config/menus/* and thereby undo any modifications.

Any of you can check if this is still valid in KDE 4.4? Thanks in advance!

Comment 9 Jekyll Wu 2012-07-30 11:11:53 UTC

Old bug and can't reproduce neither of the mentioned problems using KDE SC 4.9
