Try to hide ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.config/menus, then start one

I moved applications -> saveapps and menus -> save menus, then started kde3, no change (except for default icons over the apps that were using .desktops ~/.local


If the menus get back to their default (no custom shortcuts/order),
something screwed up those files.


No help with the menus, but kbuildsycoca helped (see below)

There also might be other places for specifc DEs to store their .desktop or
.menu files.


Holy crap -- it's worse than that. The menu issue looks like gnome totally messed up the mimetype information that somehow caused things to go nuts in kde3. I'm not sure where to start on this one. I'm fairly certain the control panel issue is a kde3 environment issue.Just running 'kbuildsycoca --noincremental' results in 742 errors -- not good. Here are the errors:

However -- there is good news! Rebuilding the system configuration cache restored the control panel entries:

The following modules are available:
background       - Change the background settings
colors           - Color settings
fonts            - Font settings
<snip>


1 down 1 to go. Any other ideas on the crazy menu errors?
