[arch-general] All kdemod3 menu apps in "Lost & Found" menu folder + control panel apps gone - how to get back?

[David C. Rankin]

Guys,

	Help! Something (probably that fricking kde4) has caused almost every menu item 
to end up in the "Lost & Found" kde3 menu folder off the main menu. I don't know 
where that folder is so I can try an move the items back.

	Also, what ever happened also caused all kde3 control panel entries to 
disappear from the control panel. Now I don't have a control panel any more:

23:22 alchemy:/opt/kde/share/applications/kde> kcmshell --list
The following modules are available:

Huh?

	The only thing I have done menu wise is to edit the Gnome menu, but that 
shouldn't have trashed my kde3 menu and control panel. Can anyone offer any 
ideas where all the missing apps are. Where is this "Lost & Found" place all the 
menu items went? Here is a screenshot of what I see when I move over the "Lost & 
Found" menu item.

	It is frustrating as hell to have everything setup just the way you like it and 
then have some unrelated process fsck it all up. I've been in gnome for the past 
week or so and this is the first time I've booted back to kde3. Go figure.

Any ideas?

	I have had the disappearing menus and control panel issue before in kde3 on 
SuSE, but never in Arch - now Arch has been bitten by this bug. Hopefully we can 
find the cause. Surely alacarte is to blame... Is it?
