How might someone replace the RedHat icon for the start application menu button
under the KDE 3.1 desktop with the KDE tri-gear icon?  The properties menu line
is missing for this panel button and for the desktop button also.  Can one
access the properties and change the icon?

Thanks!

You would need to recompile source code for that one. It can't be configured
manually.

Nah, just do this:

$ su
# copy /usr/share/icons/kdeclassic/32x32/apps/kmenu.png
/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/32x32/apps/

Oops... 'copy' should of course read 'cp'

Nice one!  I'm going to try it myself!

Look for the icon themes and have a blast.  There's a good few very pretty
ones.  I personlly use Noia Warm.

Bear in mind that the solution was for KDE3.1 (most likely on RH9), so
if you want it to work in KDE3.0 (the default with RH8) you will need
to change theh path to the original png file accordingly (I think that
the "kdeclassic" bit should be "hicolor" or similar).

I added the first save line, but the fix works great!  no more Red Hat logo to
stare at (sorry) Thanks for that handy tip!
