Hi,
 
Usu. if you have problems with non-KDE apps from the menus it's b/c they
use non-standard libraries (like compat libraries) and KDE sets
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  To get around this, write a little script like this:
 
#!/bin/bash
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset LD_PRELOAD
unset LD_BIND_NOW
exec $@
 
and call it say "kdewrapper.sh".  Then in your .desktop files put
"kdewrapper.sh" as the first element in the Exec line.  For example,
change
 
Exec:matplot %u
 
To
 
Exec:kdewrapper.sh matplot %u
 

For a quick test, run this at the console:

  # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
  # export LD_PRELOAD=
  # export LD_BIND_NOW=
  # matplot

Regards,
 
Dre
