Hi everybody.

I have a main interface with some menus et actions :

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE kpartgui SYSTEM "kpartgui.dtd">
<gui name="fusible" version="1">
   <MenuBar>
      <Menu name="file">
         <Merge />
      </Menu>
      <Menu name="actions">
         <text>&amp;Actions</text>
         <Action name="close-selected" />
         <Action name="close-all" />
         <Separator/>
         <Merge />
      </Menu>
      <Menu name="favorites">
         <text>&amp;Favorites</text>
         <Action name="edit-favorites" />
      </Menu>
      <Menu name="view">
         <Action name="lock_docks" />
         <Separator />
         <Merge />
      </Menu>
      <Menu name="settings">
         <Action name="edit-plugins-manager" />
      </Menu>
   </MenuBar>
   <ToolBar name="mainToolBar">
      <text>Main Toolbar</text>
      <Action name="close-selected" />
      <Action name="close-all" />
      <Action name="quit" />
   </ToolBar>
</gui>


Plugins are loaded and can add other menus.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE kpartgui SYSTEM "kpartgui.dtd">
<gui name="fusible_plugin_encfs" version="1">
   <MenuBar>
      <Menu name="file" >
         <Menu name="open">
            <text>&amp;Open</text>
            <Action name="open-encfs" />
         </Menu>
         <Menu name="new">
            <text>&amp;New</text>
            <Action name="new-encfs" />
         </Menu>
      </Menu>
      <Menu name="actions">
         <Menu name="encfs">
            <text>&amp;EncFS</text>
            <Action name="get-encfs" />
            <Action name="pass-encfs" />
         </Menu>
      </Menu>
   </MenuBar>
</gui>


When I load my plugin, menus are correctly added and actions work perfectly.
When I unload the plugin, actions are deleted but not the menus or sub-menus even if they are empty.
For example, when I unload the previous plugin, the submenus Open and New are not deleted but are empty.

How can I delete menus and submenus if they are empty?

KDE applications usually do not unload plugins once loaded. Also, plugins usually do not provide sub-menus, but simply add items to existing menus. This is a corner case currently.

I believe they only way to fix this would be to get the GUI "Rebuilt" by XMLGUI. While I think this is possible, I would recommend talking with the developers of XMLGUI, in #kde-devel on Freenode. They may be able to offer recommendations on how to fix this.
