Hi Everyone,

This is my first post here and I hope someone can help. I recently purchased SuSE Linux 9.0 professional. I am a complete novice when it comes to Linux but I found the installation quite painless. All went well and was getting along fine with KDE but when I installed more programs from the DVD none of them showed up in the menu.

I guess you guys don't like Gnome but when I load that the apps are in the menu and work fine. I like KDE so would really appreciate some help.

I tried looking through the folders to find an equivalent of the Windows programs folder but nothing made much sense.

Thanks in advance.

(probably stretching my luck a bit but on my Toshiba SM30-304 laptop, I can't get the desktop to stretch to fit the widescreen display and my modem doesn't work. Any ideas?)
