Menus items were rearranged, a new category called "KDE" appeared and most items were now under this. Some items were missing. In short, it had become Gnomified! Googling and posting this this mailing list confirmed that Gnome was interfering with KDE but nobody was able to tell me how to get my menus back. I eventually removed Gnome altogether which presented another problem. You can't remove Gnome without removing KDE and pretty all programs that depend on X as well. (at least I couldn't using the removal instructions provided on the Gnome on FreeBSD web site). But since you are already installing, this email may be too late. Regards, Ron Joordens
