Sir,
Excellent. It was just the right answer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cut & pasted the article :
i don't know about kde (using gnome) but in gnome when you manually delete a
menu item like wine it writes an entry to /home/<user
name>/.config/menus/applications.menu
Code:
<Name>wine-wine</Name>
<DirectoryDir>/home/doug/.local/share/desktop-directories</DirectoryDir>
<Deleted/>
remove the <Deleted/>
maybe kde does the same thing
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One small thing to note was : that there were applications.menu 4 copies, 0,
10, 11 & 12. I changed the menu as directed in the last copy i.e,
applications.menu12.
It just worked sir.
Thanks very much. (In fact I was planning to reinstall 10.04 on this sunday,
if this problem was not sorted out before).
