...but I cannot make any changes in the kde menu. Well, I can but after making my changes and saving, all the changes I've made are lost. So basically, no matter what I do, kde menu always has the same entries. Any clues?

i think this problem has something to do with the libxfce4util package...but the strange thing is i had that package installed ...http://www.archlinux.org/news.php#131 talks about the xfce problem
p.s i had tried the kde.sh suggestion before but it didnt work,,,didnt see this post fast enough to do the xdg thing
whatever it is...its good to have kde back!
thanks anyway

That is the list you should try with "echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME" and so on.
Make sure you have /etc/profile.d/kde.sh with
# cat /etc/profile.d/kde.sh
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR:/usr
export PATH=$PATH:$KDEDIR/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$KDEDIR/man
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig
if [ ! -z $XDG_DATA_DIRS ]; then
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$XDG_DATA_DIRS:$KDEDIR/share
else
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KDEDIR/share
fi
if [ ! -z $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS ]; then
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS:$KDEDIR/etc/xdg
else
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$KDEDIR/etc/xdg
fi
Hope that helps...

]]>1) no kmenu items
2) control centre doesnt work
3) konqueror is working only thru the command line with 'kfmclient openProfile filemanagement', but its not linked to folders and such..
4) right clicking on my desktop to configure desktop doesnt work
so i guess this problem isnt just for kde 3.4 beta 2, but kde 3.3.2 even..
p.s - ive tried doing fresh installs, upgrades, removing everything with pacman -R kde and reinstalling, and most importantly searching this forum..please help...im just a day old with arch!
