[kde-solaris] No menu items under kde 3.4.0

[Sunil]

I think you may(because you have kde in non-standard
place) need to set some XDG variables.

try

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/kde/share:/usr/share
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/local/kde/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg

I am not sure how root account is working though.
