We need to figure out why your tdelibs package does not include the menus from the sources. Or why they did not install correctly. In GIT the menus are located in tdelibs/kded. There are only two menus there we are concerned about. In a pinch you can just copy those. You should not need to restart TDE, but you will need to use the menu once or twice to force TDE to update the menu on its own.

Okay. Open your quick launch config file with a text editor or viewer. The file name is goofy, like this:

$TDEHOME/share/config/launcher_panelapplet_dyrwtplrzeqcrk4kmi9m_rc

Look for any occurences of kde-.

If you see that, then exit TDE and run the r14-xdg-update script using the 'force' parameter.

By the way, have you ever run the r14-xdg-update script against your 3.5.12 profile? If you don't know or are uncertain, open $TDEHOME/share/config/kdeglobals and look for the following:

[R14 XDG Updates]
Updated=true

If you find that in your 3.5.12 profile, then change the key value to anything other than true or exit Trinity and run the r14-xdg-update script with the 'force' parameter.

Until about a dozen usability bugs and numerous build issue bugs are resolved I think we are a ways off from a freeze. Just my opinion. The problems you are experiencing are growing pains of somebody moving from 3.5.12, which I don't think anybody has done yet. You're the guinea pig. :-)

Nah, we can keep things going here.

I have a feeling the problems you are seeing are 1) the menus and 2) corner cases with the r14-xdg-update or migratekde3 scripts. I don't have a 3.5.12 setup. I doubt I could create one that would replicate your setup. So we go one step at a time. The good news is I have been using R14 for several weeks. Everything works. We simply need to learn what breaks with a 3.5.12 migration and we'll be okay.
