Hi Anne,

I've now got a new FC10 install and done a yum update which has given me 
KDE4.2.1.  I have followed your instructions and been able re-assign some of 
the default short-cuts to set them up to how I like them.

However, I was still not able to do what I originally wanted, which was to be 
able to assign short-cuts to run specific apps, such as firefox, kmail etc.

In FC8 and KDE 3.5 this was done in kmenuedit. I have managed to run kmenuedit 
from a terminal and now I have managed to achieve what I wanted from 
FC10/KDE4.

The reason I could not seem to do this originally was because I could not find 
a link to kmenuedit in the GUI?  Have I missed it or does it no longer exist?

Gary
