Fresh Debian Install Problems

[DarkDexter]

Ok, I did a fresh install of Debian Sarge on my P2 last night. After I got the base in I apt'ed xwindows kde and stuff like that. My problem is, (this has never happened before even though I have done an identical install on another comp) whenever i edit Kmenu it doesnt save my changes even though I click to save it. Also the 'Debian' folder/menu doesnt show up. I have no idea what is wrong.

Here is my second stupid question :-). Is there some fun way to have debian to have the slick hotplug ability that Ubuntu and Mepis have? Like i plug in my USB moues after I'm already logged in and everything and it will spike my CPU to 99% and stick there. Also I would like it to find and auto mount my USB thumbdrives andd stuff like that.

Sorry to be a pain with all these questions but I've done some googleing and havent found any solutions. Thanks for the help in advance! (Sorry to be annoying with all the questions! :p )

Well all of a sudden my changes appeared in the Kmenu when i booted up today. But the Debian menu still dosent show up though. Any suggestions? This is a really vague and weird one.

And thanks headfuzz! I'm gonna work on getting that functioning

Does anyone know how to make or rebuild the debian menu into the KDE kmenu? Its under the menu Editor but it doesnt show up! Help! :P

Ok, I kinda feel like a retard but I figurered it out. Needed to install menu and run 'update-menus'. I checked if it took effect under the kmenu editor and it did and now it all shows up in the kmenu! Hope that helps someone!
