As the subject says, if I try to add a menu item
(to do the right click thing for example) the
new item is not saved. The menu reverts to
the the original structure. This happens both
if I edit the menu as root or user ...
any advice welcome ...
On a side note, I'm not sure I would add the "Right-click" script to a desktop or menu item, it pretty much needs to be assigned to a button because it's written as a sort of "toggle" so if you assigned it to a menu/desktop item then you could activate it to change from Left click to Right click but it would be nearly impossible to make it change back from Right click to Left click because you would need a Left click to run the script.

thanks for the quick reply (and sanity check);
I thought you needed the menu item in place in order
to assign it to a button (command shortcut). Is there
another way?

The script will run from xterm successfully though. I can't figure out exactly what Penquinbait did.

about input actions;
first, my script looks like this:
I think the first line is important for running outside of
terminal (but I might be wrong).
Then I just went to kcontrol-regional&accessibility-
input actions; went to preset actions and pushed
the "new action" button and selected as "action
type" the "keyboard shortcut -> Command/URL"
option. The entered the script location and selected
the shortcut key at the appropriate places ...
first, my script looks like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
export CHANGE=`/usr/bin/xmodmap -pp | awk '{print $2}' | tail -n 33 | head -n 1`
if test 3 = $CHANGE
then
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3"
else
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
fi
terminal (but I might be wrong).
Then I just went to kcontrol-regional&accessibility-
input actions; went to preset actions and pushed
the "new action" button and selected as "action
type" the "keyboard shortcut -> Command/URL"
option. The entered the script location and selected
the shortcut key at the appropriate places ...

Thanks for the reality check so at least I knew to try it again

I did not use the menu editor, I created a .desktop file in
/usr/local/kde/share/applnk/Utilities
Then I set a shortcut to it
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PROBLEM
I think I have permissions problems on
/usr/local/kde/share/applnk/
Can do this to fix menus
chown -R user.users /usr/local/kde/share/applnk/
Let me know if this fixes it for you?
