[gobolinux-users] KDE menu editing problem

[Paul Dann]

Hi Jonas,

  Thanks for the replies.  I have literally spent days looking around
the internet trying to fix this problem and have pretty much lost hope,
which is why I'm posting.  I've tried kbuildsycoca --noincremental and
sudo kbuildsycoca --global and various other combinations.  They return
something like this:

------------
kbuildsycoca running...

  X runs as root.  KDE and everything else seems to be running as my
user, which I imagine is normal.  If I remove
/System/Links/Shared/Trash, KDE complains about not being able to create
it, which sounds about right.  It ought to be looking in the user's home
directory though.  Mystifying!
