Funny - we debugged this at Linux Expo on debian (which has a very similar menu 
system as Mandrake I think), and it turned out to be a setup problem - I forgot the
details, but something was quite inconsistent with the global and local paths, and I
had to suspect a bad patch. Loic, do you remember the details?

It could be that Mandrake is affected the same way.

You can do that in the "out of the box" KDE, too. The bug is only due to
the wrong directory setup.
