That's the one I was thinking about. If I could have remembered what

forgetful old guy since it may help someone else if they run into the
same situation. I suspect that would have solved the problem.

Thanks.

We got many similar reports, I'll add it in the Guide FAQ




I was using the -j option when I upgraded KDE. Could that have
something to do with it? Maybe the last package that was "officially"
emerged didn't run the command. I'm just guessing on this tho.


Another thing I have noticed, when I log out, apps don't close
gracefully. I get the KDE crash handler instead of them just closing
like usual. I'm not sure but suspect that is a KDE issue and not a
Gentoo issue. Just something I noticed a bit ago.

Like someone already said, one needs to re-run kbuildsycoca4 (or usually just
re-login). In any case relogin is needed in order to get new value for
variable XDG_MENU_PREFIX applied before running kbuildsycoca4 (it's set in
xinitrc session scripts).
It is always needed when upgrading between minor releases (so 4.5->4.6)
Good news is that famous 'required to start kmail twice' bug is fixed when
using kdepimlibs-4.6. Also some plasma glitches are fixed with this release so
it should be generally worth switching to.

We've just added more files in keywords and unmask files including the above.
Please check and hit us back if there is anything wrong
