You can first delete the file(s):
$HOME/.kde/share/mimelnk/inode/directory.desktop
$HOME/.kde/share/applnk/System/kfmclient*.desktop
(if they exist), and restart KDE and see if this fixes it.
In general, it is possible if you have upgraded that you two 'desktop'
files -- one for the old and one for the new menu system. This normally
won't cause a problem, but it might -- Murphy's Law will always get your.
You can remove the old ones as long as your are certain it that it is a
duplicate and it might fix a problem.
For the global menu you will find one:
$KDEDIR/share/applications/kde/*.desktop
and a duplicate:
$KDEDIR/share/applnk/<Category>/*.desktop
where <Category> is one of the Categories listed in the first 'desktop'
file. E.G.:
Categories=Qt;KDE;System
and in this case what we want is: "System".
In this case, you might find files:
$KDEDIR/share/applnk/System/kfmclient*.desktop
which you should remove.
For the local menu your might find one in:
$HOME/.local/share/applications/kde-*.desktop
and you might find the duplicate:
$HOME/.kde/share/applnk/<Category>/*.desktop
Note how the user's new file will have the prefix: "kde-" and the old one
will not.
And I already recommended the files to remove above.
