[K12OSN] Problems with Firefox, OO and KDE apps start up speed with SMBLDAP

[Petre Scheie]

With version 6, do the Gnome items appear under the Gnome menu selection?  On my version 
5 box, it's just empty; I think it was that way under 4.x also.  Am I missing something 
during install that would properly populate that submenu?
