[kde-linux] Kcontrol, Kinfocenter no module listing

[andre]

well, I didn't figure out what the cause was but I know that it is
related to the menus stored in /etc/xdg
I had a Mondo recovery DVD ( came with my HTPC system :) and after
restoring /etc/xdg and deleting the users .local and .kde directories
everything came back to normal.

thx &re
