<div dir="ltr">Hey Bob,<br><br>You're probably best off creating a separate menu panel and putting things in it manually. I tend to not use the menus all that often because clicking through the menu tree is time consuming. Typically what I do is use the Run Command dialog (Alt+F2), quickly type in the app I'm interested in (eg. firefox, konsole, pidgin, gimp), and hit enter. Additionally, there's a nice keystroke launcher by the name of Launchy ( <a href="http://www.launchy.net">http://www.launchy.net</a> ). They recently released a linux version but I don't think it's available from the official Ubuntu repositories yet, but you can download the .deb file and install it manually: sudo dpkg -i launchy_2.1.2-1-i386.deb.<br>

I sent this earlier but I'm afraid it didn't get through because I used the wrong sending address so I am resending it. Sorry.<br>

I have been solving most of my problems with Linux :-) but have come up with one that causes me a lot of distress :-( Being a control freak I like to organize my menu, KMenu since I use KDE, so that I can find things easily. That always presents a problem. Usually when I do this many of my icons just disappear never to be seen again. I have found the place where the changes to Kmenu are stored. It is at /home/robert/.config/menus/applications.menu and there are a lot of applications.menu.undo-## there also. I have tried altering this also to no avail. So far I have tried to sort them out about 4 or 5 times and each time I end up reinstalling to get everything back. I'm a slow learner. Now, if no one knows a good way to do this, I plan to create a new menu heading and place the icons I normally use there by copy and past. Hopefully this won't create another kind of problem.<br>
<br>
If anyone sorts Kmenu without problems I would sure like to hear how it's done.<br>
Thanks for the help.<br>
