Hello everyone, I just did a ftp iso install of Arch today and decided to try kdemod-complete, following the kdemod installation guide. When I started X, I was suprised to find my kde menu was not populated, and only contained Settings -> Control Center, which does nothing when clicked, and the System Menu with my devices/home folder etc, which bring up the 'open with' dialog when clicked.
When I run kcontrol, the left pane is completely blank, so I am unable to customize KDE.
Additionally, the theme looks exactly like a vanilla KDE installation, and doesn't show the new eyecandy (except for the new splash at startup and the 'pop and fade' effect when I click desktop icons).
When I run kcontrol I get:
WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/
When I run kbuildsycoca:
bash-3.2$ kbuildsycoca
kbuildsycoca running...

I've found a few threads on the forum with similar problems, but none of the solutions seem to work for me. Any suggestions?

Kdemod has its own dedicated forum, in case you didn't notice.

Install "extra/libx11" instead of libxcb fixed this for some people.
Please see the kdemod forum, the issue popped up there more than one time.

copying `/etc/xdg/menus` files to `~/.config/menus` solved the problem for me.

i just ran into the same issue.
funny stuff, the files in /etc/xdg/menus/ belong to gnome-menus
