12 After the usual night's sleep to clear the cerebral tmp files
13 I thought of starting the new day in KDE to try fixing things there.
14 I swapped to my KDE version of ~/.xinitrc & then did 'startx'
15 & yes the desktop menus & the panel menu had vanished.
16 Then I started Krusader, got the 'open with' box for a text file
17 & told it to open the file with Leafpad: it did some updating & obeyed.
18 After that, the other default 'open with' apps worked as before
19 & the KDE menus had been restored. To get Apwal back with L-mouse
20 I had to use the KDE Control Centre 'desktop behaviour' & re-apply it.
21
22 So everything is back to normal & Krusader behaves properly on Fluxbox too.
23
24 HTH anyone else.
