Package: kmenuedit
Version: KDE-base-2.0-7
Severity: normal
Installed from: Mandrake RPM's

Hi,

I was SOO excited to use the new KDE 2.0, I thought that>> this would be a \
huge impovement over the first incarnation.>> I was right in many ways, but \
then a few items that I really>> rely on were really messed up. I.E: \
MenuDrake.>>

It is the biggest mess I have ever seen, I actually>> uninstalled the \
package and go into /usr/share/applnks/ and>> do it all by hand, at least I \
know it will be there>> when I am through, and STILL there when I need to \
reboot the machine.>>

I envoked MenuDrake after getting all my apps installed and>> up and \
running, wanted to move some things around,>> like, I can't understand why \
you have Graphics under multi>> media, so I wanted to move that one out on \
it's own, move>> the links from WordPerfectOffice2000 out on it's own \
from>> under Applications, and there are a few others. I restart>> the \
session and nothing has changed, AND my links to WPO2000>> were gone. That \
was the last straw, I uninstalled>> the damn thing and then went and \
configured it>> myself, even found were the WPO2000 link to the 'links'>> \
were kept: usr/X11K6/share/applnk/Applications>>
Also, there used to be the option of placing directories>>
from the menu on the panel, can't do that any more>>
I really liked that option: Packaging: contains the apps
MandrakeUpdate, kpackage, and rpmdrake. The ability to>>
have that directory folder in the panel saves space, now I have three icons \
there, where there should be one!!>>

I really prefered the old KMenuEdit program, it was slow,>>
but at least the changes were saved and implimented, all>>
and all, it was a great program that needed a fix here>>
and there, not this crappy re-write that we got thrown at us>>.

Thank you.
