How to add KDE applications in KDE_base --SOLVED--
Hi,
I installed Archlinux base 0.7.2, xorg, KDE base 3.5
There is less in KDE base than I thought. ( no filemanger, no tools, no terminal ) In fact it is an empty dektop with a few icons even without applications linked to these icons.
I installed a few more KDE packages with pacman, but these are
not added in the KDE menu. How can I fix this ?

Something went seriously wrong. Assuming that you're just starting, I would remove kdebase and kdelibs and reinstall.

Wait! Try deleting the ".kde" directory in your home folder before trying the above. Just delete it, and log out then log in again. If that doesn't solve the problem, then try the above.

Hi skottish,
Oo yes there was something else before...
Just after installing KDE, KDE did not start, although fluxbox did.
I had to add the full path in .xinitrc: 'exec /opt/kbe/bin/startkde'
EDIT: fixed PATH ok now, startkde is ok. 
Open proble: KDE menu

I guess you didn't log out and log in again after installing KDE? If you do, your $PATH var gets updated, and /opt/kde/bin is added, then you will be able to start the kde apps by just typing their names.

Thanks Linteg, fixed the PATH this is ok now.
I have a few "working" icons on my desk now, Konsole, Kwrite, Firefox but I don' t find find how to add these
applications to the KDE menu.

pacman -S kde to get the rest of kde. they should all add themselves to the menus for you.

Because I realised that the "KDE base" installation is an empty IDE, I removed
it and installed a full KDE and all the application are there now.
Thanks,
