So, you mean all of your KDE menu stuff are in ~/.kde where gnomevfs2 took  
from? Just want to make sure before I do all the work again with KDE by  
install it, and test and hack. I only work with KDE menu with gnomevfs2 by  
read in ${LOCALBASE}/share/applnk/ long time ago, so if all your KDE menu  
are from ~/.kde then I don't think I can do that much.

If you have the very up to date of KDE and gnomevfs2 read in  
${LOCALBASE}/share/applnk/, then you can send me tarball of  
${LOCALBASE}/share/applnk (or I can download it) and I can try to work  
with it to make it looks nicer again..

Aww, rebuild/reinstall gnomevfs2 doesn't take that long. ;-)

You can remove that 'KDE.directory', then remove all  
'<MergeDir>/usr/local/share/applnk/*/</MergeDir>' and KDE/QT lines in  
${X11BASE}/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info  
..
