Try clearing that file (note that it list the apps twice, in history and just 
above it) after you exit kde and then see if they are their next time, if 
they are then it is possibly that it keeps the list in mem and write it to 
ksyscoca at shutdown but this is unlikely.

Thanks Andrew,

I tried deleting the whole file. After re-booting the original was still in 
place, so it looks as if you are right. The file must be saved to memory, and 
dumped into another file before reboot.

I'm not familiar with "ksyscoca" -- should I make a backup and just delete 
the sucker, or, perhaps, there is a more prudent way of doing things?

What a wonderful way of learning the inner workings of kde, not to mention 
Linux! Ain't this fun? And all this within three months of being a stalwart

Btw, I've encountered yet another minor problem: somehow this list either 
doesn't like my password or my username. Whenever I try to log on, it won't 
accept my password. How would I go about changing this?

Regards & thanks,
Andre
