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

[Adriano Moura]

Try to hide ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.config/menus, then start one
of the DEs

If the menus get back to their default (no custom shortcuts/order),
something screwed up those files.

There also might be other places for specifc DEs to store their .desktop or
.menu files.
