Yes, I tried that, including the .mcop, .local, and .qt dirs and the
related files in /tmp and /var/tmp.  KDE indeed rebuilds these files,
but Kmenu still does not find kcontrol, and kcontrol when run manually
is broken.  The Kmenu still has problems when executing a program from
the link.

Thanks for the thought, though.  I'll continue pursue the problem.  When
I do figure it out, I think all add it to the book's KDE configuration
section.
