I removed kde from slackware 12, and built kde from source. The kde menus
are empty. Any thoughts as how to fix this?

My guess is that $KDEDIR isn't set. Try 'echo $KDEDIR' and if the output
is empty then use 'export KDEDIR=/path/to/where/you/installed/KDE'
before starting KDE.

KDEDIR is set to /usr/kde, which is where I installed kde.

I ran startkde > 2&>1 which complained about
no .config/menus/application.menu

I found that hidden away somewhere in /usr/kde/etc/xdg/menus... When I put
it where kde wanted it, the menus appeared.

'locate applications.menu' will find what was missing...

kde put it in a different location than slackware. That occurs
in /etc/profile.d/kde.sh.

Anyway, it's all better now :-)
