If you find something suspecious, try hiding again.
I really don't know how those DEs handle those files, but you can try.

1 down 1 to go. Any other ideas on the crazy menu errors?
Well now I think I've found the motherload of screwed up menu files. Going
through ~/.config/menus, I have found hundreds of menu 'undo files'. The
directory is filled with:
04:45 alchemy:~/.config> l menus/
total 2028

They all look to be from the time I edited the gnome menu and from when the
menus in kde3 broke. The file content looks like this:
04:49 alchemy:~/.config/menus> cat applications.menu.undo-100
<!DOCTYPE Menu
PUBLIC '-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN'
'http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd'>

So it was gnome that trashed my kde menu. But now -- how do I fix this mess?
Let me know if I can provide any more information. If you would like the
complete contents of one of these undo files, you can grab the rest of that one
here:

I hope there is a tool that can reverse the changes. That would seem to be the
purpose of the 'undo', but I don't want to lose my new menu items either. How
should we handle this mess?
