Yup, Rex, crazy is what it is:

root at coyote ~]# mv ~/.config/menus ~/config/menus.BAK
mv: cannot move `/root/.config/menus' to `/root/config/menus.BAK': No such 
file or directory
[root at coyote ~]# kbuildsycoca --noincremental
kbuildsycoca running...

And now my kmenu is even more emasculated, the whole admin thingy is gone 
along with 99% of the entertainment stuff.

And where the heck is the manpage for kbuildsycoca?

right clicking on the fedora sign, then left clicking on the menu editor 
does nothing, absolutely zip, other than closing the properties box.

I think the Gods must hate me...

Whats the rpm command to verify the whole kde install?
