If they are wrong, you will therefore find the following likely doesn't answer your question, altho it might be useful info in general. It is. Thanks a lot. [snip saved email :-)] Back to your question... Unfortunately, the answer to where one finds the menu layout for KDE isn't as simple as it used to be, and to be honest, I can't give you as straight an answer here as I could a few years ago, because of that. KDE is complying with the freedesktop.org menu standards, I'll try to get an overview of this. which work one way, as well as providing backward compatibility with its own older layout, which would have been quite familiar to anyone used to the MSWormOS start menu, as it kept the menu in the same sort of tree, located at /usr/share/applnk, I believe it was. Caveat I've not read anything on freedesktop.org yet but nevertheless the links within the older layout $HOME/.kde/share/applink appear to correspond with the apps which remained - nano xedit here. The only other editors in the Editors k-menu section were the missing KDE apps, kwrite,kate,kedit. Those work somewhat differently. It's possible there's a third standard in there as well, maybe backward compatibility with GNOME's pre-freedesktop.org layout, and maybe others as well. Understood. [snip] Just after I posted yesterday, my home icon reappeared in the kicker, complete with its keyboard shortcut. I am now fully restored! G TIA Guy -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

The drop down menu which holds all the apps along with most used Applications, All Applications, Actions sections in it. Sorry I don't know off any 'automatic' way - only the usual one - right click, controll bar menu, add programm it really sounds like something ate your configs. If we are still talking about kicker, its config is in .kde/share/config/ called kickerrc. Well this really is nuts - they're back! I was certain all the KDE apps had vanished when I first started posting various places on friday. Yesterday I was scratching my head thinking I'd lost my memory when the unused kde apps were back. Today, I return from work (having accessed via ssh again) and not only are they all back but so are the file associations. The most bizarre is rxvt - it has regained its arguments in kmenuedit. At least the kde apps were either there or not whereas rxvt has been there a bit. Anyway, can you confirm it is kicker I'm describing or not please? While it's working I'd like to understand what the settings should be lest it happen again. TIA Guy -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

Would appreciate a hint on how to restore them - is there a command like kappfiner (which doesn't) which will repopulate it? For further reference, the desktop list is the more appropriate list for this sort of questions, or the user list. The desktop list in particular deals with GNOME and KDE issues fairly regularly, and is far lower volume than either the dev list or the user list, but still has the devs and others that can help watching. [noted your correction so will continue here] Try kmenuedit, both as your regular user, if that's where it's happening, and as root, if it's happening to everyone or you want to see whether the problem is with your user profile or the system. (If further questions or that doesn't immediately make the problem and its solution obvious, please take it to desktop, where I'm a regular as well, and we won't be bothering all these devs working on other parts of Gentoo and not necessarily interested in KDE.) Unfortunately the apps have vanished from kmenuedit also. I've never directly logged into a GUI on this box as root user - only via kdesu. I've no doubt the apps would reappear if I were to create a new user, or indeed trash $HOME/.kde but the latter is too expensive. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list

A week or two ago. from 3.4 to 3.5 was a change in the menu-structure - maybe you are looking at the wrong places? I'm currently on 3.4.3 and if memory serves it was 3.4.1 - certainly no earlier than that prior to the upgrade. The thing that stands out most is ssh. I've been using ssh from work to access GUI apps on this box for weeks. Whatever went wrong, went wrong whilst I was at work whilst I was accessing this box. The desktop here was still up running when I returned home - minus virtually all entries for KDE apps which I have ever used. Best I can tell, KDE app's I have never used are still there. The problem, whatever it was, only became apparent when, from work, I went to view source from kde filemanager for some html and up came gedit instead of the usual kwrite. It was been that way since. From kcontrol (that's gone from startbar as well) I go to file associations and (for instance) kwrite is not seen there either. Atm I'm loathed to play around (still need this box from work). For the apps I know the name of, if I launch them from a console, up they come with settings intact. I am hoping for some hints on how to repopulate the startbar automatically.

My last reply to this assumed I was still on the dev list. This /does/ probably still belong on the desktop list, but this group/list isn't quite as bad as dev, for posting the question, particularly if you think it's amd64 related. I'm not sure if it is 64bit related or not. Main reason for choosing this list was there's not been a single posting to desktop since I subscribed a month ago. I thus assumed it was inactive. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-amd64] KDE - vanishing apps
Hi Folks, Over ssh most of my KDE apps have vanished off the startbar. Would appreciate a hint on how to restore them - is there a command like kappfiner (which doesn't) which will repopulate it? TP Guy -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
