Installing kcontrol in Ubuntu causes Other submenu to populate with kcontrol app

[David]

Binary package hint: kcontrol

I installed kcontrol in Ubuntu to control the settings of KDE applications. After installing it, the Other submenu populated with more than 60 items. They appear to be the individual pieces of the kcontrol app. The only entry that should appear is kcontrol and I think it should appear in the preferences menu.

Can we move this bug to Confirmed?

[Peter Husen (phusen)]

I have experienced this bug consequently on Gutsy and Hardy systems.

[David (endeavornet)]

Just confirming this problem still exists in Hardy.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Is this still a problem in Intrepid?

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Noting that systemsettings is kcontrol in Intrepid.

This bug is still a problem in Hardy. I don't know about Intrepid since it
hasn't been released yet. If you need more information to reproduce this
bug in Hardy, then I will be happy to provide it.

Installing systemsettings-kde4 in hardy should be enough to test.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Not a problem anymore.
The associated desktop files live in a different directory untouched by anything but KDE.

[David (endeavornet)]

systemsettings-kde4 doesn't control kde3 applications.
