Hello Kde forum, and here is my first post

I was editing the menu on my panel when somehow the menu editor corrupted my menu. It isn't corrupted, really, it's just that half of my programs are missing and it would take me forever to replace them. The panel on my root account is fine, so I was wondering if there is a file responsible for storing the panel data, and if I could just copy that from my root acout to fix my menu.

Thanks in advance,
antiNeo

Did you ever find out how to fix it? I have the same problem now myself and it's driving me crazy!

RE: Corupted panel menu

Simple way: delete your menu settings in the home directory, so that relogging would automatically fix it.
You can find it in your ~/.kde/share/applnk (old) or in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (usually ~/.menu).

Another simple (even not so) way: copy your menu settings from root, remembering to chown them.

One more way: run your distro menu tool to rebuild it. Each distro has its own way to do it (irritatingly).

Yet another way: kbuildsyscoca. that seems quite simple.
