Re: KDE problems

[Petr Janda <elekktretterr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately, this didnt help. I created a new user, but control center 
and menu editor still dont work. I even deleted whole /usr/pkg and 
started from scratch a few days ago. Its getting quite frustrating. Is 
there anyway to find out whats actually happening when I click on those 
2 icons?
