KMenu not updating/editable
 

Hi.
I'm having some problems with my KMenu:I cant' change it, nor do any of the package management programs change it. I've uncommented the line
in /etc/menu-methods/menu-xdg. Still nothing. It only happens in my user, other user's menu is updated and editable. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that my home dir has been the same for several distros(I have /home on a different partition). I've left only my /home folder intact because I wanted to keep my data. Other users have been recreated. I recall that my menu used to work fine earlier, but I don't know when it stopped working.
Thanks for any help

KDE seems to have some problems when upgrading between distros, as this can leave it with old configuration files that act like incomplete files when it tries to read them in the newer versions.

I suggest that you temporarily move your ~/.kde directory, then log in and see if your menus work. If so, restore ~/.kde. You can then go through ~/.kde to find the error, by temporarily moving various directories and restoring them. Once/If you find the exact cause of this error, please report it to http://bugs.kde.org/, otherwise this upgrade bug will probably never get fixed.

Ok, thanks, I will try that as soon as my computer is fixed(the power-supply thingy, whatever you call it in english is toast :( )

After temporarily removing ~/.kde still no luck. KDE recreates the directory and all my settings are changed, but the menus are still bad. I have no idea how to fix this. I believe that the problem is deeper, perhaps even menu itself. I will try creating a new user and moving my ~/.kde there, while setting the permissions right.

could be a permissions issue, as different distros give userid and groupid starting with 500 (501, 502...) or with 1000 (1001, 1002...)
