Run drakemenu, and I think there is an option on a menu somewhere, where =

can select what kind of menu system you want to use.

No, Mandrake are using the Debian Menu system. The idea behind Debian men=
u is=20
to have a menu structure somewhere and then kind of 'compile' that into t=
he=20
config files needed by Gnome, KDE, <insert random desktop here> etc. So t=
hat=20
changes to your menu magically appear in KDE and every other desktop=20
environment...=20

I find it kind of annoying myself... bad interface etc. Actually I wish=20
Mandrake would just write some decent KDE admin tools instead of the half=
=20
baked GTK ones they have now...

cheers,
