Description of problem: On a fully-updated Fedora 10 system, I found that I had a half-dozen apps in KDE's "Lost & Found" folder, all from the Electronics group. I was correctly advised that this was due to not having the electronics-menu package installed. My request: if a user has a graphical desktop installed, and applications from a given group, then the desktop menu package for that group should be installed as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0-2.fc10 How reproducible: Unknown Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do full Fedora 10/x86_64 install 2. Apply all available updates for 2 months 3. Notice application in the KDE "Lost & Found" folder Actual results: Applications from Electronics group placed in "Lost & Found" folder Expected results: Install applications from the Electronics group should be in the Electronics folder by default. Additional info: As an aside: I don't think that Electronic should be a top-level menu, on the same level as System or Internet. Maybe it should be beneath "Science & Math"?

Maybe it should be beneath "Science & Math"? Well "Science & Math" is only kde specific. Software that are used to design chips are not science software but engineering. Here I would like to precise that electronics engineering application are not for educational purposes but real life engineering tools. I run KDE4.2 I don't experience this issue.
This list mirrors the apps I saw in L&F prior to explicitly installing the electronic-menu package: $ grep -l Electronics /usr/share/applications/*.desktop /usr/share/applications/fedora-geda-gattrib.desktop /usr/share/applications/fedora-geda-gschem.desktop /usr/share/applications/fedora-gerbv.desktop /usr/share/applications/fedora-LabPlot.desktop /usr/share/applications/fedora-pcb.desktop /usr/share/applications/fedora-piklab.desktop /usr/share/applications/fedora-toped.desktop Some background: I did a clean install from the Fedora 10/x86_64 DVD. I opted for everything on the DVD other than the clustering tools and the non-English language packages. Since that installation I have installed several dozen *-devel packages and applied all F10 updates as they were released. I noticed the apps in L&F while checking out the new KDE 4.2.0 changes, but those entries may have have been there for weeks or months or even from the initial installation. Thanks for the quick response.
Packages affected were gerbv, geda-gattrib and geda-gschem. All of them have been committed to rawhide.
