12 I have rebooted a number of times (it's a laptop), always in xdm/fluxbox, but
13 my Konqueror menus/kcontrol work fine now. I do not have kdeinit in the
14 fluxbox startup file. Once I have booted up I will typically run {kgpg &&
15 kmail} to check my mail and occasionally launch konqueror with {kfmclient
16 openProfile webbrowsing}. By that stage kdeinit will be running (when things
17 are normal):

31 When the 'lost menus' problem is there kfmclient will not run and konqueror
32 will fail to launch. Last time the menus were gone I realised that this was
33 the case when I clicked on a link to open an attachment from within kmail -
34 the save as/open with popup was void of any applications. Unfortunately, I
35 did not check at that time if kdeinit was running, but I would assume that it
36 was otherwise would kde applications be able to run?
