i recently emerged KSensors. everything is working htere, and i have a KDE menu item for it in Utilities.

but now a "Lost + Found" item has appeared in my KDE menu, and I can't get rid of it. when i go to edit the menu and delete KSensors under Lost+Found and then hit Save, the KSesnsors is back!

this is driving me crazy. please help.

thanks,

There are about four different places that KDE's menus are stored

1) in /usr/kde/somewhere ...
2) in the user's home folder for kde somewhere
3) then the KDE Menu Editor has ITS own addition to the menus in your home folder
4) seems like there might have been a fourth location in a system folder somewhere

I will try and see if I can find my notes on this and get back with the locations ... I personally like KDE and use it exclusively, but the menu situation is very agrevating in my opinion.

~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu

To see where kde looks for menu directories run:

well that did it. i found the link to KSensors in an Applications directory inside /usr/share/applnk and deleted the entier Applications directory

now KSensors is no longer in Lost+Found, and the L+F submenu is gone
