How To Del A Link In Main Menu

ferro

My system is FC3, There is a link "GIMP Image Editor" in Applications->Graphics. But the GIMP can not run, the gimp havn't installed! So I installed gimp through "Add/Remove Applications". Now gimp runs. But there are TWO SAME link "GIMP Image Editor" in Applications->Graphics. Both can work. How to delete one? When I right click the link, "Remove this item" is gray. I logined in root and  tried to delete one link in applications:///. The message is "can't *****,because it is on a read-only disk".

the device (you harddisk) may be mounted in 'ro' mode
try to remouted it as rw mode

/dev/hda1 on /mnt/hda1 type vfat (rw,iocharset=gb2312)
/dev/hda7 on /mnt/hda7 type ext3 (rw)

Notice the 'rw' !!
And check the file '/etc/fstab '

/dev/hda1       /mnt/hda1       vfat    rw,iocharset=gb2312     0       0
/dev/hda7       /mnt/hda7       auto    defaults        0       0

My linux system has two partitions. One is hda3, is mounted at / and one is hda4, is mounted at swap. So I don't think the problem is "ro mode". More help need. Thanks!

Hehe, I don't know when, but it sames that the system has just deleted one of the  link automaticaily.

Oh, I have updated the gimp. It is the correct reason.
