[gentoo-user] Why so many duplicate entries in K menu?

Hi all,

the subject says it all: I've got multiple multiple duplicate entries in KDE's 
(4.3.0) K menu. Any idea how to get rid of them? Google doesn't give a 
definitive answer :(

Thanks...

	Dirk

In KDE-3.5 I'd use kmemuedit - don't knpw about 4.3

Looks like you have KDE3 installed too?

look out for multiple .desktop files in /usr. Maybe paludis forgot to unmerge 
something.

Nope. It's gone since a long time now.

Bye...

Ok, some more details. I'm using Lancelot since some time and thought it would 
show the same things as the K menu. That's not the case. The K menu only shows 
one entry for each app. However, both Lancelot _and_ the KDE menu editor show 
duplicate entries for each non-KDE app, where clicking one one of them (in 
Lancelot) opens the app, while the other opens kwrite with an empty desktop 
file for that app.

So for now I will switch back to the original K Menu.

Bye...

I'd check for a .kde3.5 leftover folder in user home.

Ciao
