Ok lets see posible causes,
1) kappfinder was takeing a "long time", so you shut down the Xserver to
see what was going on and kappfinder did not complete
2) Your computer locked up and you used reset button, filesystem got
damaged, linking kde and gnome menus to same inode (so very very

3) Somebodys been playing with the menu editors

its a bug in kde it's self and not our implementation you'll need file bug
report thru their bug system)
