That's a strange one but not really unexpected at all. There's another command below to try to get back what you lost, keep track of any error messages generated when you run it. > "Configuration" sub-menu is missing.

Eek! Where did it go? That's a new one. I've never noticed emacs going missing from the menu. I'll have to give that some thought. > There are several other changes to the "K" menu and its sub-menus, > and "missing" icons that were normally on the task bar by default. Which ones Melissa? The Open Office icons went missing from my task bar during the last round of updates but I didn't care since I dislike clutter and they're still under the Office sub-menu in the K menu anyway. > I'm not sure what I've done, but for the moment, I'd kind of like to > get back to the "K" menu/sub-menus and task bar that I'm still trying > to get used to.

It's probably a part of the original missing menu items problem, and will return to normal when you run the command below. > Thanks! You're welcome. Try the following command: rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus -n -v && ldconfig <enter> Holler if you need to.
