This would be a bug in the packages. The Debian way is to use the 'menu' system, so that every WM sees every X program. Since KDE3 is on it's way into sid, and it will presumably comply with Policy and not have this silly problem, you could backport them. > I have tried using > kde-appfinder to solve this issue, but it seems to not see the gnome > apps except for evolution 1.21 from Ximian.

Or integrate KDE into the menu system that every other WM you have uses. > Any suggestions??

Well, by this stage, KDE3 has probably completely entered sid, so you might just want to use that, or recompile it if you really, really care :) -rob
