Guys, Help! Something (probably that fricking kde4) has caused almost every menu item to end up in the "Lost & Found" kde3 menu folder off the main menu. I don't know where that folder is so I can try an move the items back. Also, what ever happened also caused all kde3 control panel entries to disappear from the control panel. Now I don't have a control panel any more: 23:22 alchemy:/opt/kde/share/applications/kde> kcmshell --list The following modules are available: Huh? The only thing I have done menu wise is to edit the Gnome menu, but that shouldn't have trashed my kde3 menu and control panel. Can anyone offer any ideas where all the missing apps are. Where is this "Lost & Found" place all the menu items went? Here is a screenshot of what I see when I move over the "Lost & Found" menu item. (131k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/Archlinux/bugs/kde3-lost+found-menu.jpg It is frustrating as hell to have everything setup just the way you like it and then have some unrelated process fsck it all up. I've been in gnome for the past week or so and this is the first time I've booted back to kde3. Go figure. Any ideas? I have had the disappearing menus and control panel issue before in kde3 on SuSE, but never in Arch - now Arch has been bitten by this bug. Hopefully we can find the cause. Surely alacarte is to blame... Is it?
It had something to do with something I did because I have 2 other x86_64 Arch boxes with kdemod3 on them and they are both fine.
Can anyone think of which directories/configs to compare to see if I can copy a config back or move files and get my config back? With the other boxes, I have an easy comparison, I just don't know where to start comparing. I know the usual places to start looking for the configs and menu configs, but if anybody is familiar with the problem or where the "lost & found" menu entry and files are drawn from, that would really help.
