Try as first a user and then as root update-menus... wait a few seconds and see if it comes back. From 8.1 to 9.1 the changes in KDE have been enormous. You might have to wack all of the .kde and .kderc files/dirs in your home directory, but try update-menus first. > If anyone has any suggestions on how to get them back I would much > appreciate the help.

Use the tools in MCC to edit this (under the security tab). If you can't find a correct rule chose editable.. it will let you enter new rules so that what you need gets set to what you want.
