KDE menu wierdness

2010-05-03 Thread B. Alexander
On my sid box at home, I had an issue which turned my KDE menu topsy turvy.
Note that I am running 32 bit sid on this box. On my 64-bit machine at work,
I haven't seen this behavior.

Originally, the top-level menu categories were similar to the ones on kde
3.5:

Debian, Development, Edutainment, Games, Graphics, Internet, Multimedia,
Office, etc.

At some point, I lost System, Office, and a couple of others...And all of
the apps that lived under them are now in Lost and Found, about 120 or so. I
opened kmenuedit and tried to restore menu config, to no avail. Is there a
way to access the menu from the command line? a file I can edit to arrange
it? The gui seems a little time consuming.

Anyone got a fix for it?

Have you tried creating a new account and looking if it's there as well?  
The menu is basically system wide, but users may customize it (and I 
absolutely don't understand how system wide and local menu are merged.)

If it's not system wide, removing the right files from your ~/.kde, ~/.local 
and/or ~/.config directories should probably cure the proble,  (If you 
didn't do much customizing you can obviously nuke your whole configuration 
but in my case, that would lose quite a few hours configuration work, not to 
speak of stuff like address book/calendar data etc. ...)
