I seem to recall when this was happening to me, there was a kde config file that kept getting overwritten somehow- if I think of it, I'll post, but really the fix seems to be upgrade to Tex's stuff. I've not had one problem like that since I did. I think people (me included) went back and forth on pclinux online about this, so probably those threads are still there if you're interested. James- that update-menus trick worked for me a few times, but it always reverted to the overwritten file. I'm trying to recall exactly what action instigated this, but at present, it escapes me.
