Bugzilla Bug 91226

last update of some GNOME components installed gnome-base/gnome-menus-2.10.0 on
my mainly KDE-based system. This ebuild installs /etc/xdg menu stuff.

KDE 3.4 seems to be prepared for this and switches its menus to the new layout.
Nothing wrong till now. Standards are great... ;-)

BUT: this is only a very basic layout and implements only GNOME stuff. Some
KDE-Menus are missing now (incl. some icons). I attach a PNG to demonstrate
this. With this broken layout (from the KDE point of view), lot of programs are
missing (i.e. KWrite) and so also the mime-types. If you click on a text/plain
file, it opens AbiWord on my system, instead of KWrite.

removing 'gnome-menus' and deleting /etc/xdg, plus restarting Kicker solves
that problem at all. But since there're dependencies to 'gnome-menus' from the
gnome-ebuilds, portage want to install it all the time again and again.

That's VERY odd! KDE 3.4 (I didn't tested other versions) is totally broken
with this incomplete XDG menu-layout. How can this be solved to please both KDE
and GNOME users?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. check your KDE menu layout
2. emerge gnome-menus
3. check your menus again
