[SOLVED] lxsession-logout disappeared from lxpanel's menu

lxsession-logout disappeared from lxpanel's menu. Would someone kindly tell me how to get it back, or post the last part of ~/.cache/menus/<ugly_filename> for me?

--EDIT--

The answer was so obvious. Part of the file ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/panel magically disappeared. This file is generated by a binary, so I couldn't read what was missing. So, I needed to generate a "default" profile to find the information. I opened a terminal, typed "killall lxpanel", then "lxpanel". That made the new "default" profile. Whoops! It was empty. While this new profile is sitting there, I had to change an item in the menu so that the default profile will fill up with data. I went into the file ~/.config/lxpanel/default/panels/panel and copied the bits of information that I needed into the other panel file, and restarted lxde. Was this enough? No. I then had to create a symlink from "default" to "LXDE" so that the menu would do something after reboot.

See? Obvious.

WTF?!?!?!?!
