Hello together,

I am quite new to linux and have a problem with multiple k-menue (kick-off application lauchers)
using opensuse 11.1 (64-bit) and updated KDE to 4.2. update worked fine.
After update I wanted to substitute the new Kick-off application launcher with tradtitional k-menu. So I right clicked the kick-off k-menu application laucher and choose remove. The Icon disapeared. Then I added the tradtitional k-menu. It was added.
The story should have ended here
But unfortunalty after the next restart I had two k-menus. I thought I did something wrong so I removed both again by right-clicking and then I added 1 tradtional k-menu then I directly logged of an on again and the result was now 3 k-menus. Well then I tried it one last time and the final result is that I have 4 k-menues now.

How can I successfully and permanently remove the redundant k-menues.
Help greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I have a similar problem using KDE 4.2 on openSUSE 11.0.

I ended up with 2 kickoff menus. So I delete one. After next logon there are two again.

And also with the weather widget added to the system tray. No matter how many times I delete it, it is still there after logon.

Suggestions?

Same problem here as well, on two computers, both with "clean" .kde4 directories.

Something is wrong with the openSUSE packages it appears. Or they don't like the KDE 4.1 files.

Try removing $KDEHOME/share/config/plasm* outside of KDE.

What does this have to do with KDE 4.1?

And I had this problem on completely fresh .kde4 directories (that is, I renamed the entire .kde4 directory and started from scratch).

The first two people were using KDE 4.2. Since openSUSE has not yet shipped a release containing KDE 4.1, they must have upgraded. In both 11.0 and 11.1 openSUSE included non standard patches that were backported from KDE 4.1 / 4.2. When they upgraded to KDE 4.2, the new release would not contain any SUSE specific changes, and thus might be incompatible.

However, given that you experience the issue with clean directories, it is a bug in KDE 4.2, or more likely, the packages provided by the openSUSE team. ( I was able to do this without the problems above on self compiled KDE 4.2 )

Yeah, that worked! Thanks.

And then it didn't! Damned things came back. :-@

On my system it is also solved using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1) "release 104
