First we would need to know if it is your account or a system problem.
Create another account, say junk.

Log into junk and verify if you have open office selections under
Office. If so, we know freemont's menu is dinked up if not system is
dinked up.

Simple kde user problem solution for me is to log into another account,
click up a terminal,
su - root
cd ~dinked_up_user
mv .kde .kde_broke

exit
exit
log out of another account.
log into dinked_up_user and .kde directory is rebuilt.


Downside is dinked_up_user has to redo preferences and application
setups or try to copy them back from .kde_broke

Good idea. Sure enough, the other user's menu is correct. Wonder what
needs to be replaced in my own directory? I've been looking for hours and
can't find anything.

I really, really don't wish to just give up and start over with a
fresh .kde. I'd rather fix it.

Best method I know would be to get a list of files in ~junk/.kde
and as root, compare them against ~freemont/,kde

Here click up a terminal log in as root, install the mlocate/locate
package, create database used by locate, get junk's .kde fn list and diff
them with your account.


su - root

urpmi mlocate
/etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron


---------------- diff script starts below this line. ----------------
#************** start dif_files *****************
#*
#* Save as dif_files
#* chmod +x dif_files
#* Execute command si
#* ./dif_files
#*
#************************************************* **

locate junk/.kde > fn.lst
while read line ; do
_sfn=${line#/home/junk/}
echo "running diff -bBw /home/freemont/${_sfn} $line"
diff -bBw /home/freemont/${_sfn} $line
done < fn.lst

#************** end dif_files *****************

Just saw this so I didn't get a chance to try it, but i found the problem
file.

/home/username/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu

I just renamed menus to menus.old and clicked the button and there were
all the default items. Didn't need to log out.

I'll have to recreate the custom menu I'd created, but that's a small
bother.

Thanks for your suggestions.
