Hi,
	I just did 'zypper dup -r trinity-noarch -r trinity-x86_64' on my OpenSuSE
system, and this is happening to me now, too.  I have a few more questions
about doing this cleanup:

	Should I presume that entries in the <Exclude> sections do not have to be
adjusted?

	Should the kde-*.desktop entries be renamed or removed from the
<layout>...<merge type=* /> sections as well?

	Does the conversion routine look through all subdirectories of
my /home/<user> directory for menu files, and process files other than
applications-tdemenuedit.menu?  If so, ought I to remove various legacy and
backup files?.  Also, I have some subdirectories with backups of various
configuration files from other user accounts; will it scan these as well and
fail, even though they're not used by my account?
	Here's the tree of these files:

$ tree -fia|grep menuedit
./.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu
./.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu
./.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu.backup
./Documents/mail/older/share/config/kmenueditrc
./.kde/share/config/kmenueditrc
./rootHome/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu
./rootHome/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu
./rootHome/.kde/share/config/kmenueditrc
./rootHome/.trinity/share/apps/RecentDocuments/applications-tdemenuedit.menu.desktop
./rootHome/.trinity/share/config/kmenueditrc
./tdemenuedit.txt
./.trinity/share/apps/kmenuedit
./.trinity/share/apps/kmenuedit/kmenueditui.rc
./.trinity/share/config/kmenueditrc

	Thanks for your help.
Leslie
