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. --=20 Regards, Mick
