Michele,

thanks for the tip; your instructions were clear and helpful. Here is my 
feedback as it may also be helpful to others with the same problem..


There was nothing odd (no kde* files) in the "~/.local/share 
/applications" folder

I searched with kwrite in the 
"~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" file for "kde" and 
substituted "tde" in all "desktop" hits, i.e., the files named in the 
r14 script output noted earlier. Some occurred more than once as I had 
copies in various submenus. Saved the file, rebooted, there was one 
notice of a check, rebooted, DONE! Everything seems to work fine now, 
including the apps where the "tde" substitution was carried out.

My installation is over 5 years old and has been through a number of 
upgrades so it is not surprising that there is some cruft in the setup. 
However, it has always worked well. Long live TDE!


Sincerely,

L. McCarty
