Maybe I had to explain to you in details what is going on when you
change your Mandrake menus with
menudrake (read: application links). X-KDE-BaseGroup is nothing but a
KDE directory in your application links.
In Mandrake menu this directory is subdirectory of Configuration
directory. That's why I told you that you have
messed up with your application links. If you do not believe go to
/.kde/share/ and move applnk directory somewhere
else, then restart your kde session and take a look at Kcontrol. All
entries are missing ;). Or you can do that using
menudrake and remove KDE subdirectory from Configuration directory in
your KDE menu. The result will be the same:
empty Kcontrol. People are just not aware that using menudrake can be
very "dangerous" and give you a headache.
I bet that all of you who have empty Kcontrol have used menudrake and
moved or deleted KDE dir in Configuration
menu dir. And then installed kde 2.1beta1 or beta2. The whole problem is
because KDE has its own structure of menus
and Mandrake has another. And when you install KDE's RPM's installation
can not find default Mandrake menu structure
and do not puts KDE dir with links to Configuration menu dir.
