Really, what I'm looking for is NOT an 'in brief' explanation, but a comprehensive one. I have searched through the archive and found various instructions for 'fixing' the problem, but no explanation of what exactly this script is doing. Most of the fixes are to merely remove lines from ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu containing kde-*.desktop filenames. Okay, easy enough, but what if some of them refer to valid KDE4/5 applications? Some also say to check the contents of ~/.local/share/applications/ as well, but don't say what to do there. That directory appears to be full of *.desktop files. Maybe rename them? Delete them? But again, what then happens to KDE4/5 applications that they might refer to? (On my system there is also a ~/.trinity tree and a ~/.kde tree; do these participate in the process?) Another says to remove file /var/tmp/tdecache-$USER/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt We need some background information in order to make sense of this problem, because it keeps coming back over and over. A fix that only works until the next TDE upgrade is no fix at all, IMO. Please help us mere end-users, who aren't privy to the inner workings of the menu subsystem, to understand how all the pieces of this puzzle fit together to cause the problem.
