OK

Excuse me but ... what is marcuscom? a machine you test
gnome on? I mean not the building of gnome but actually
using it?

The screenshot of the visible part of the menu is here

As for the KDE apps being there, now I see where they come
from! I was intrigued that having renamed my .kde files the
entries in the menu were still there.

However, is it necessary to reinstall gnomevfs2?
