Re: install-docs problem really update-menus problem
Hi,
Further investigation shows that the problem is with update-menus.
If needs=x11 or needs=wm is specified in the menu file then update-menus looks
for x-window-manager. Kde2 seems to create only x-session-manager.
Does this justify a bug against menu package?

The Internet will destroy the barriers that are isolating people
from decent opportunities based on where they happened to have been born,
and this will be a fundamental transformation of our global society that will
greatly discomfort a lot of worthless people. Then those same worthless people
will create new barriers based on access to source code, licenses,
software permissions, etc. Sigh.
