Unfortunately, this did not work. I've looked through
/usr/share/applications/kde and /usr/share/applnk and whatever else I
could think of but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how menus
work in KDE. It is not obvious to me how KDE figures out what to add to
the menu and how to arrange it. If someone can point me to some
documentation that describes how the .desktop and .directory files are
used by KDE, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Dan.
