Blast! I spoke too soon.
This morning same story ... Menus are not present and running
$ kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing kbuildsycoca running.=
..
kfmclient: ERROR: Couldn't start konqueror from konqueror.desktop:
Could not find service 'konqueror.desktop'.
brings up the same error. :(
There must be a more intelligent fix to this than me booting into KDE
every time I want to use a KDE application ?
What's up with your KDE menu Phillip? Were you able to make the changes st=
ick?
