Hey all -
I am new to this forum and new to Arch, but not new to Linux. I am still having some problems getting KDE menus to register even after reading the Wiki and spending a large amount of time on the forum yesterday. What I can't seem to find is a clear documented case where KDE has worked straight from install. Any help here? I have tried (in this order):
-installing base packages, installing xfce, pacman -Syu, then installing kde. Looked for xfce.sh to change its XDG DIRs but that file did not exist. I guess this was because of the newer xfce packages in the repos.
-installing base packages, pacman -Syu, installing kde. This time even with no xfce it didn't work.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Please note that I do not yet understand the role of qt with respect to menu generation (as I have read that qt may be causing the problem), and I didn't know where to place the patch for qt that I found. Help on that is also welcome.
My apologies if this has been answered already (because I haven't found the answer yet).
Thanks!

I did this few weeks ago (without even bothering looking at the KDE upgrade wikipage) and it worked out of the box. There might be something else buggy there... I admit I had no settings saved from my previous installation (the old almost dead HDD). It might work by removing ~/.kde (maybe rename it first then test). Make sure you backup your e-mails, korganizer files and whatever you have stored there before removing the ~/.kde dir.

I did this on a clean installation though - anything that could throw it off there?
Note that I'm back to XFCE4 for the time being... :?

Did another clean install and it worked this time. Go figure.
