Fixed it!

I had to delete /home/michael/.config/menus/applications.menu, then
change my setup to login using kdm/KDE instead xdm/fluxbox and this
time kbuildsycoca  worked.  Phew!  All my menus are back, Kleopatra
works fine, and kcontrol has a list on the LH side.  Getting back to
fluxbox works as normal again.

Thanks for the pointer!  :)

It seems that the elog message was implying that one must be using KDE
as a DE rather than individual applications.
