--- Comment #5 from Tom Atkinson <t...@funk.co.nz> ---
I MARKED RESOLVED AS I MANAGED TO FIX MY START MENU / META KEY ISSUE
Although it will still crash when I right click to configure.
Here is how:
- The user account with the issue is 'tom' on my install
- I delete and re-create my test user: t2
- I use this fresh user account to build a list of files and folders in .config
.local and .kde
- Write a script to automate the overwriting of t2 user account files with toms
prefs (I'm trying to see if I can re-create the issue in another user account,
since I noticed they are working fine), the script takes user names as input
and also does a recursive chown to t2 after
- while not logged in as t2 i run my script.
- logout, then in as t2 to inspect matters. while 'meta' did not initially open
the kwin menu, I can now right click, and set Alt-F1 as the keyboard shortcut.
as if by magic, [meta] key starts working again inside t2 account.
- so while logged out as tom, I run my script in the reverse direction: copy
all of t2's very sparse (brand new account) files back across t2 --> tom
- initially I was bummed that it still crash. however I installed a security
update and rebooted. Now it works fine. Actually shit it doesn't I can still
crash it, however my [meta] key works so I am happy for now I don't need to get
into that setting anyhow.
- my t2 account has no problem opening 'Configure...' with a right click?
I will attempt to attach my script.....
