Re: Resetting KDE menu
For me it's in the folder ~/.kde. For example, you have the following file :
~/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc which contains all datas about how look the desktop. If you want you can remove it and logout, login to see...
Code:rm -f ~/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc
Hope it helps

Re: Resetting KDE menu
Hello!
Although the above solutions should work, they would remove other data as well. Try the following:
- Go to ~/.config/menus directory and remove the file applications-kmenuedit.menu. That should restore the KMenu to the original state,In a world without windows and fences who needs Gates?

Re: Resetting KDE menu
The interesting thing about this thread to me, is the fact that people seem to find their configuration files in all sorts of different places. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in my ~/.config/menus directory,or in my ~/.local/share/applications directory. On the other hand my ~/.kde/share.config/kmenueditrc file has only two stanzas both relating to the appearance of the kmenuedit program, despite the fact that I have modified my kmenu with both additions and deletions. Obviously, the file that contains those mods on my system has not been mentioned yet in this thread.
On the other hand, there are 56 hits for *kmenu* (most of them *.png files) under /usr/ some of which seem to have fairly recent (i.e. after the release of Edgy) modification dates, so I suspect that one of those might be the one that holds the contents of Kmenu on my box. I suspect that all of this means that which config files you actually use depends on (a) which release of Kubuntu you're using, (b) whether you installed from scratch, or upgraded, and (c) possibly, whether you have Gnome installed and, if so, which one you installed first.
My conclusion: use the GUI, if you can. The guy who wrote it probably knows all the possible locations for your config files. I am a little surprised. though, because I thought that this kind of thing is a total violation of the Debian Policy Manual. Just shows how little I know.

Re: Resetting KDE menu
The kmenu.png files are icons for the KMenu (the big K you click on the taskbar to open up the menu).
Any menu entries living in the /usr directory are the default ones.
Anything in ~/ are your modifications to those defaults (either additions or deletions).

BTW, I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 6.10. No GNOME, dist-upgrades, etc.In a world without windows and fences who needs Gates?
