[kde-solaris] No menu items under kde 3.4.0

[Albertson, Brett]

I fixed it by copying the contents of /usr/local/kde/etc/xdg/menus to /etc/xdg/menus .  This is odd because I built everything with 

--prefix=/usr/local/kde 

I wonder if this is actually a build config error.  It seemed to always be looking in /etc for those files.

I tried setting the XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and it didn't help.

When I run kcontrol I get the following error:

dev-zero:{bretta}$ kcontrol
kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /var/tmp/kdecache-bretta/ksycoca
kcontrol: WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/

Then it runs, but there are no modules to configure.

Try starting kcontrol in a terminal window and se if you get any 
permissions problem or thers when changing settings.
