[newbie] user menu items not available

[Margot]

Some of the packages I've installed are not available on the user menu 
in KDE. I know about the 'menu bug', and I've downloaded all the 
necessary updates, but some things are still missing.

When I go into menudrake as root, the panel for Available Applications 
contains all the missing packages. However, when I go into menudrake as 
user, the Available Applications panel is empty.

I can call up the applications if I open a terminal, but I'd rather have 
them on the user menu so I don't have to remember the commands! How do I 
get these Available Applications moved over to the user menu rather than 
just root? I've tried 'update-menus -v' as both root and user, but it 
makes no difference.
