Got a KDE 3 question...

I was editing my KDE menus, and somehow lost my Preferences menu. Now when I 
click the "K-gear" in the lower left hand corner, there is no Preferences 
menu. When I click on the Control Center, there are no controls.  I can't 
modify my windows, change the background, change file associations, or use 
any of the other wonderful tweaking tools that come with KDE.

I figured "No problem. KDE keeps all of the setups in ~/.kde. I'll just back 
up my current ~/.kde, grab a copy of ~/.kde from my laptop, copy that over to 
my desktop computer, figure out where the Preferences menu is, and then cut 
and paste those files back to my original ~/.kde.

However, when I copied the working ~/.kde directory from my laptop over to my 
desktop, all of the setups changed to match the way my laptop was set up, 
EXCEPT the Control Center. It still comes up with no controls and there's 
still no "Preferences" menu in my menus. 

So I grepped the entire home directory tree on my laptop for strings such as 
"File Browsing" and "Word Processing", which are menu titles set in the 
menus. I figured wherever the menus are stored, the config file with the menu 
data would have the menu titles and locating that file would tell me where 
the menus data is stored. However, I couldn't find any files containing these 
strings.

So how do I fix this? Where is the menu information stored? Where are the 
Control Panel menus stored? I've checked KDE's manuals and they have no info 
on this.
