Can you please add a version for KDE4?

I install this servicemenu on every Debian based distro I use. Works fine with Kanotix, sidux,... But no way on Kubuntu, nothing happens when I invoke one of the commands. So I tried starting it from console, e.g.:

./debian-servicemenu.sh info some.deb

and that gives me:

,/debian-servicemenu.sh: 6: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

What's so different with that Kubuntu...? Anybody any idea?

Problem was the first line in debian-servicemenu.sh, #!/bin/sh -> #!/bin/bash

Works fine without need of changes in Kubuntu 8.04.

My home is not /home/$LOGNAME

I changed /home/$LOGNAME to $HOME everywhere
It works perfectly.
Hope this change will get in...

I have French texts for the menus items, who should I send them to ?

The error message I get is "Could not find the program 'uxterm'", and I can't find this program anywhere.

How can I fix this?

Assuming you're using debian GNU/linux:
apt-get install xterm

Another command that might be interesting for inclusion would be alien - so anyone could alienate rpm packages into debs and then install them. I actually did a little service menu for this but couldn't figure out how to nicely integrate it with kdialog to get a little info about the state of the alien process (how long it will take and so on).

Hmm, I had an alien service menu somewhere. Not sure if it was from here or if I did it myself - I'll have a look sometime next week. But anyway: This would make some sense for inclusion, though it will annoy those who whole-heartedly dislike rpm packages and only use deb (sometimes you can't, I know).
