[Leaplist] KDE menu- a glitch?

[patrick]

Three identical computer systems, side by side, and two have weirdness!

 In KDE menu, I grab some programs using Synaptic, in a new category of
sub-menu such as >Administration>Games (as it appears on one machine)
but, grabbing the exact same items in two other identical computers, the
menu doesn't get updated with the new sub-menu!

I even edited the menu in the two other machines, but the menu that
appears in the editor do not show up in KDE main menu at all!

Is there a KDE menu auto-upgrade thing, somehow, turned off?

The complaint that the Accountant's ole MS XP Homely AMD 2800+ computer,
with 512 Mb RAM, was creepy crawly slow, at the school, and wouldn't
print partially due to AV that expired before the virus did.  Having 108
items in the start-up menu didn't help.

The HP720C printer doesn't work in a Live Linux CDrom either, and I
think all the gooey, aged, mummified, ink inside there, on the paper
feed rollers might be partially to blame.  The fact that this HP
computer prints over the network in Mepis LiveCDrom , and in MS XP
Homely, shows that it is OK.  the HP 720C printer lights work and
indicate that it receives text, 'prints', and communicates back over the
parallel port cable that it is complete.  Except no paper moves.

Too bad the 'fix' for the slow HP XP Homely computer was to purchase an
even newer system, with the Vista Homely on it.  With 1Gb RAM it is
slower than the ole XP unit, once I cleaned the ole system up!

Everyone at the Wilford Woodruff Academy likes the Fedora Core 7 systems
and thanks all of you who have worked on this project.

Some of the children asked me to please get Tux Paint on ALL the
computers, as one very bright lad, age 7 or 8, has been doing Maya,
Blender animations at home for a "few years", now, and is teaching the
others!

So, they all got TuxPaint, Blender, and the educational software in
Synaptic, such as GCompris, Childsplay, and other Suites, but, don't
appear in the main menu of some computers!

All comments are welcome.
