Subject: [Bug 161117] Utilities directory messed up by Revision 789264
of applications.menu

This is no longer an svn bug: it has entered KDE 4.1.0 and is passed on to KDE
4.1.1.

You will not suffer from this bug if you are using Kubuntu because the bug has
been fixed downstream. You will not suffer from it in openSUSE either because
openSUSE has never used the upstream applications.menu.

You will only notice this bug if you are using a distribution that does not
change the upstream applications.menu and does not modify the Categories fields
of the .desktop files either.

Log in to Fedora Rawhide and install kdegraphics, kdeutils, koffice-core,
koffice-kchart and koffice-kformula. Now you will see the mess!

KColorChooser & KRuler will be listed in both Graphics/More and Utilities main.
They will be listed in Graphics/More because they have both Graphics and
X-KDE-More in their Categories fields. They will be listed in Utilities main
because whatever has X-KDE-More in its Categories field will be listed there
with no restriction.

KChart, KFormula & Kthesaurus will be listed in both Office/More and Utilities
main because they have both Office and X-KDE-More in their Categories fields.

KDiskFree and KwikDisk will be listed in both System/More and Utilities main
because they have System and X-KDE-More in their Categories fields.

Finally, KCharSelect, KTimer and Sweeper will be listed in both Utilities main
and Utilities/More. They will be listed in Utilities/More because they have
both Utility and X-KDE-More in their Categories fields. They will be listed in
Utilities main because whatever has X-KDE-More in its Categories field will be
listed there.

You may also test this bug in Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex provided that you manually
replace Kubuntu's kde-applications.menu with the upstream applications.menu.
Now install the following packages and experience the bug just like in Fedora.
Don't forget to replace kde-applications.menu with the upstream
applications.menu!

apt-get install kcharselect, kcolorchooser, kdf, kruler, ktimer, sweeper

Unfortunately, if you are using openSUSE then you are out of luck ;) You won't
be able to test this bug no matter how much you try because your distribution
heavily customizes both the applications.menu and the .desktop files.
