[gentoo-user] k3b doesn't show in KDE 4's menu

[Nikos Chantziaras]

I installed k3b (a KDE 3 application) but it doesn't show in KDE 4's 
application launch menu (aka "Start menu").  Can this be seen as a bug 
or am I supposed to create the desktop entry myself?

hmm...k3b-9999 shows up in the 'multimedia' section of kmenu. Which version 
did you try to install?

If the .desktop file is missing it is a bug. You don't have to do it by hand 
(you can add k3b manually - right click on the menu button..)

1.0.5-r5.  Latest version available in portage.  Desktop file is there 
actually:

   /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde/k3b.desktop

but KDE 4 doesn't seem to be picking it up.  I think it should though, 
since when I had Amarok 1 installed (meanwhile I'm on Amarok 2) it was 
appearing just OK in the menu.

well because it is in kde 3.5 duh.

Btw, get the kde-testing overlay and try k3b-9999 it is sweet and works very 
well. (or 1.6.something - the beta).
