Hi

- check /etc/kde-user-profile, have a look inside it.
- check /var/lib/kde-profiles/, have a look inside the dirs it contains.
- KDE menus are XML files. You delete something by ADDING text to them....

- a hint: do a "touch /tmp/now" just before you change something.
Then change it.
Now see what was modif'd by doing:
find ./ -newer /tmp/now

- hope this helps :-)
