KDE-Forum.org

Try deleting ~/.kde/share/applnk (after copying a backup :-)). This should make you use the original KDE menu entries.

If it does not work try to reeinstall (update) the package that provides the applnks: rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/share/applnk.

NOTE: I'm using Fedora and the kde's (and most application) prefix is /usr, I think that SuSE's is /opt

The default location for the kde installation I'll call KDE_PREFIX (for Slackware it is /opt/kde), since different distros seem to have a different location for kde.................Anyway, the program link entries in the Start Applications menu are found at KDE_PREFIX/share/applinks, which contains the entries seen by all users. There you'll see a directory structure that reflects the layout found in the start menu. Each directory contains a hidden file, called .directory, which is used by the start menu to list that directory.

See if there's an 'Office' directory. If there is but there's no 'Office' entry in the start menu, then make sure that hidden .directory file exists. If it's missing, then create one and see if that does the trick. Here's the content's of my .directory file in the Office directory: [code:1][Desktop Entry]

If the whole directory is missing, then you'll need to recreate it. For Slackware, this is found in the KOffice pkg.

There is also a similar directory structure in each user's home directory, ~/.kde/share/applinks. This, however, only contains entries that have been added after the main KDE installation, and is only specific for that user.
