However, if your sycoca was broken, I'd expect you to be telling me that your K menu wasn't working and that apps weren't finding their plugins.
Will, you were right - my menus are gone....

I rarely use it so I guess I didn't notice until now. so your sycoca idea may be gaining traction. What do I check for it?
As I mentioned before,
1) check that /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER is writeable, not full, and that the file ksyscoca exists and is not empty in that dir
2) run kbuildsycoca --noincremental to recreate ksycoca

Will, Just an update all kde3 kcontrol apps are still gone and all menu entries are still missing as well. But it seems like I am in good company, there are a ton of posts on this in the past 60 days. I googled "kde3 kcontrol empty" and turned up a lot of posts. I have worked through: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=39506 which seemed most promising, but to no avail..., sigh.. The link to kde-applications-merged made no difference. Just wanted to let you know that both issues are still floating around. Do you think downgrading kdebase3 apps back a month or two is a reasonable idea? It won't fix anything if we find where it is working, but it might tell us when it died. My guess is still late Feb. When you can devote a minute or two of leisure time, let me know and I'll be ready to help :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
