Re: [arch-general] All kdemod3 menu apps in Lost Found menu folder + control panel apps gone - how to get back?
Deleting the .menu files won't actually result in loss of any shortcut. It will only make it default to the information provided from the .desktop files, instead of the overrides made in .menu files. Nevertheless, always backup :) What you will lose are sections, subsections and shortcut order, modified trough the menu system. Any information inside the .desktop files will be kept. KDE should put everything into it's default position (provided there is any inside the .desktop files), well, at least KDE4 does. I've also experienced this kind of messy behavior, but with KDE4. It's so much trouble that I decided to just delete every menu file and make the changes inside .desktop files. This may also work globally with other DEs, if they respect the XDG rules. A shortcoming may be that You shouldn't edit system .desktop files (You can, but pacman may eat it), but instead, duplicate them to yours personal ~/.config/share/applications/ dir. Add or Look for this inside .desktop files: Type=Application Categories=Game;ArcadeGame; The menu system will try to match these Categories and put inside directories (sections) defined in /usr/share/desktop-directories/ or ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/ Also, your old directories might still be defined in there. They won't be visible in menus until some .desktop file reference them. Trying to fix this inside the menu editor might get things even worse. (but you could try!) 2010/7/21 David C.

Try to hide ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.config/menus, then start one of the DEs If the menus get back to their default (no custom shortcuts/order), something screwed up those files.
