I have rebooted a number of times (it's a laptop), always in xdm/fluxbox, but
my Konqueror menus/kcontrol work fine now. I do not have kdeinit in the
fluxbox startup file. Once I have booted up I will typically run {kgpg &&
kmail} to check my mail and occasionally launch konqueror with {kfmclient
openProfile webbrowsing}. By that stage kdeinit will be running (when things
are normal):
6973 ? S 0:00 kgpg
6976 ? Ss 0:00 kdeinit Running...
6982 ? S 0:00 \_ klauncher [kdeinit] --new-startup
7030 ? S 0:01 \_ kio_imap4 [kdeinit] imap /tmp/ksocket-michael/
20306 ? S 0:00 \_ kio_file [kdeinit] file /tmp/ksocket-michael/k
21164 ? S 0:00 \_ kio_smtp [kdeinit] smtp /tmp/ksocket-michael/k
6980 ? S 0:00 dcopserver [kdeinit] --nosid --suicide
6984 ? S 0:01 kded [kdeinit] --new-startup
6986 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/gam_server
7018 ? Sl 0:29 kmail
20414 ? S 0:00 \_ aspell -a -S -B -Tutf8 --encoding=utf-8
When the 'lost menus' problem is there kfmclient will not run and konqueror
will fail to launch. Last time the menus were gone I realised that this was
the case when I clicked on a link to open an attachment from within kmail -
the save as/open with popup was void of any applications. Unfortunately, I
did not check at that time if kdeinit was running, but I would assume that it
was otherwise would kde applications be able to run?
