There is a menu item "Applications/KDE Resources" in GNOME
There is a menu folder ".hidden"
The "Multimedia/Recording/Sound Recorder" does not have an icon
The "System/More Programs/Change Password" does not have an icon
Comment 1 JP Rosevear 2005-08-31 12:15:12 UTC 
The Applications->Applications menu was removed in Beta 3.  Are you sure you are
testing on beta 3?
Comment 2 Magnus Boman 2005-08-31 23:17:08 UTC 
I am sure that I'm using beta 3. However, I am not using the OSS CD's, but the
DVD from our internal FTP server (which contains the SUN Java, AppArmor etc).
Comment 3 JP Rosevear 2005-09-04 22:07:58 UTC 
Do you mean kirk?  I am definitely not seeing Applications->Applications in beta
3 or beta 4, with all of KDE installed and running gnome.
Comment 4 Magnus Boman 2005-09-05 01:11:38 UTC 
Yes, got it from Kirk.
I don't see The Applications, nor the .hidden in Beta4 so we can close this one.
Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2005-09-05 01:53:06 UTC 
Closing as per user comment.s
Comment 6 Magnus Boman 2005-09-12 01:50:12 UTC 
I would like to reopen this bug.

I've created a customized installation. Initially, I had no KDE stuff in there
at all. Then I added K3B to my installation, and the .hidden and KDE Resources
menu items appears.
I'll attach My.sel for your reference. If you want to "see this in action",
please download and install the GNOME 1 CD from http://www.opensuse.org/1_CD_install
Comment 7 JP Rosevear 2005-09-12 19:33:53 UTC 
I think you attached the selection to the wrong bug.  Really I need to know the
versions of gnome-panel and gnome-menus you have.
Comment 8 Magnus Boman 2005-09-13 04:16:23 UTC 
Ops! Will try the attachement again (Just in case you feel like reading :).

These are the versions I'm using...
gnome-panel-2.12.0-3.i586.rpm
gnome-menus-2.12.0-2.i586.rpm

Comment 10 Chris Lahey 2005-09-13 14:11:27 UTC 
The My.sel helped me figure out the issue.  Thanks.

The problem isn't in gnome.

The problem is that you've got k3b installed without kdebase3.

Both k3b and kdebase3 install .desktop files to /opt/kde3/share/applnk/.hidden/
 kdebase3 also installs a .directory that specifies that that directory
shouldn't be shown in the menus.  Thus, if kdebase3 is installed everything is
peachy, but without it, there's nothing to tell gnome not to show that
directory, so as freedesktop specifies, gnome shows the menu.

Solutions I can think of are to:
a) move that .directory file from kdebase3 to kdelibs3.
b) have k3b Requires: kdebase3.

Reassigning to kde-maintainers@suse.de
Comment 11 Magnus Boman 2005-09-15 05:49:41 UTC 
Do we know why k3b installs the .desktop files in the .hidden directory in the
first place? k3b does not require kdebase3, and kdebase3 requires
kdebase3-ksysguardd and kdebase3_doc, which in turn probably requires x packages
etc...
Comment 12 Stephan Kulow 2005-10-19 12:27:53 UTC 
k3b does require kdebase3 now
