I know my applications well enough to track them by name, but I have no idea what they are described as! I'm pretty sure there used to be an option in KMenuEdit but I'm not seeing anything. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Matt. Matt.

I wonder how much I'd need to recompile to patch this. Going to see if Application Launcher is a standalone project or needs a huge source tree... Matt.
