Messed up KDE Menus


Ok so I was trying to edit my KDE menus so everything would show up in IceWm.

I have a Kanotix Debian Sid install, so there are kde menus then the Debian menus.

I was using Menuedit, and moving most thing over to the Debian apps menu. Somewhere along the way I lost several of the directories namely Office and Development.



At one point I was attempting to edit the menus in IceWM, lost the KDE and Gnome menus.


Are the settings stored somewhere so I can reset the menus?

If not it is no big deal, obviously all of the apps are still installed, it is just a matter of adding menu entries again.

BTW xfm is a cool little app.

Here is an image of the menus to give you an idea of what I am saying.The main menu is the left and the Debian menu that shows up in IceWm is the top and right.http://www.geocities.com/reverendsky/mozilladown7.png

Ok I found the IceWM menus, they are simple text files in my home .

KDE uses some wierd file type and it doesn't look like they get backed up when you make changes. IceWM files autobackup when changes are made.

So it looks like I am stuck manually adding the apps back to my menus.

If you were doing this from your home directory, just delete .local and .config/menus and your KDE menu should be restored to its original state when you log out and back in again into KDE.

No go.

I did manage to find the default files for IceWM, luckily they are text files so I have everything just they way I like. KDE used way to much ram, and I could care less how the background or whatever looks. I just want it to be fast.
