Chuckling...

  I have a dcop script that restores my konsole session and restores the
connections to the remote hosts when I launch it. I have 5 local tabs open and
5 remote. History file does get quite lengthy, and it has always been
frustrating that all local history from the 5 local tabs all ends up one
histfile (and then only if you exit gracefully)

  Above that, I keep 40K of entries in my histfile config in ~/.bashrc, e.g.

export HISTFILESIZE=40000
export HISTSIZE=40000
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth:erasedups
export HISTIGNORE=' *:&'

  I cheat too, I have a short function aliased to 'hist' in my .bashrc as well,

showhist() {
    [ -z "$1" ] && { printf "usage:  hist <search term>\n"; return 1; }
    history | grep "$1"
    return 0
}

  That allows a simple 'hist term' at the command line to find what I'm
looking for with minimal typing :)

  I looked further and kbuildsycoca should sort out the xdg_menu entries, it
also has a '--menutest' option as well that preforms the abbreviated check of
the menu setup.
