Just create a symlink to kde-4-applications.menu This worked for a test user, but not for my own account. I also tried kbuildsycoca4 again after I checked that this was the command that had helped on the other PC. Still no change. Yes, I logged out and in. And suddenly, some days later, it's working. I have no idea what fixed this, but I'm glad it finally solved itself. The icons for the menu entries are still mostly empty, but the applications are all back, and a double-click in dolphin no longer asks what to do. Wonko
