Fixed it! |

I had to delete /home/michael/.config/menus/applications.menu, then |
| 40 |
change my setup to login using kdm/KDE instead xdm/fluxbox and this |
| 41 |
time kbuildsycoca worked. Phew! All my menus are back, Kleopatra |
| 42 |
works fine, and kcontrol has a list on the LH side. Getting back to |
| 43 |
fluxbox works as normal again. |

Thanks for the pointer! :) |

It seems that the elog message was implying that one must be using KDE |
| 48 |
as a DE rather than individual applications. |
