[gentoo-user] KDE control center missing?

I'm using KDE 4 on Gentoo, and I want to add a few items to the "K"
(application launcher) menu.
I thought the control center was the thing to use, and the online help
manual says it should exist
on the "K" menu, or as the program "kcontrol".

It doesn't, and the list of files for "kcontrol" contains *no* files of that
name, and only one directory
(under HTML) of that name.

So how to I run the darned thing?

That's how it was called in KDE 3, now it's "systemsettings". But you are 
looking for "kmenuedit", in the kde-base/kmenuedit package.

Or just right click on the "K" thingy and select "menu editor".

Yeah, it's right there in K -> Programs -> Settings, but only because I 
put it there, with kmenuedit.

Dale was referring to RIGHT clicking the K menu, which give a short menu
that includes Menu Editor. but I think this only appears if you have
selected the KDE-for-old-farts (AKA classic) menu layout.

Should be there for both.  That was how I switched it to the old style.  
I'm pretty sure the menu is the same for both.  Then again, I have 
updated KDE a couple times since then too.

Oh. I stupidly read this as 'just click right on the K thingy', meaning 
'just do it', not 'use the right button'. Yes, it hast the menu editor, 
even though I have the KDE-for-young-dudes menu layout active. Cool, never 
did this before. Or did I? At least I know the option to switch to the old 
menu style from somewhere.
