Standard is well. But when I'd like keep old behavior, can I do it?

A simply example: No .local and .config directories. Start KMenuEdit and 
change icon on one menu element (pico in Editors submenu). Save 
configuration. After saving, changes should be visible immediately, aren't 
you? But I as before see pico without any icons, see empty .config (with one 
empty "menu" subdir) directory and .local/share/applications/kde-pico.desktop 
file. kbuildsycoca works, timestamps on ksycoca and ksycocastamp were 
chagned.

Yes, here is it! Thank you.

One more question: KMail starts automatically, in spite of setting "start with 
empty session". It missed in Autostart, of course. Where keep list of 
programs, which should start automatically next login?
