The Debian "menu" system predates the standardization of .desktop files and their location, and its accessible outside of X. It had its 1.0 release in 1997, the year before the KDE 1.0 release. What you see under the K menu is just one of the hooks into the Debian "menu" system. While installing .desktop files to the correct place(s) is good, installing a correct menu file is better. IMHO, the toplevel "Debian" menu is "noise" and should be deleted with it's contents moving to toplevel in the K menu. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
