By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2014-02-23 15:04:00 CST 
* Use a default Trinity profile.

* Notice the default menu layout is NameAndDescription.

* The default format in tdebase/kicker/libkicker/kickerSettings.kcfg:206 is DescriptionAndName (installed to /opt/trinity/share/config.kcfg/kickerSettings.kcfg).

The default for Trinity has always been DescriptionAndName, inherited from KDE 3.5.x. DescriptionAndName has been the KDE3 default since SVN 401802, 2005-03-26.

The cause of the menu switch for new profiles is tdebase/kicker/kicker/kicker-3.5-tdeconfigXTize.pl (installed to /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdeconf_update/kicker-3.5-tdeconfigXTize.pl).

This is a script to update existing KDE3 profiles older than 3.5 to the new 3.5 menu nomenclature.

Looking at the SVN history, this perl script has always conflicted with the default menu format. The script should be run only against an existing pre 3.5 profile and never should be run against new profiles.

Despite the default format being DescriptionAndName, this perl script will always set a new profile to NameAndDescription because with a new profile none of the older pre-3.5 nomenclature exists anywhere.

Recommended resolution is to delete the script from the sources. I cannot conceive of anybody still using KDE 3.4 or older. They are the only people who could benefit from this perl script.
