Gnome ruined my KDE file associations!

I temporarily switched to gdm and tried Gnome. I started KDE from gdm once by mistake. Later when I switched back to kdm and KDE, I noticed that my KDE menu had been recategoried and some file types no longer have an associated app!

Is there a way to undo this?

You should have backed up your stuff in the first place

I think the contents in ~/.local/share are messed up. Undo them would be a bit difficult, but you could (re)move the folder so you have to start from scratch again.

There was nothing important there, so I tried logging out of KDE and nuking it (~/.local). No change.
