Yes, that is what he is presuming.  However, what he suggests is not a 
good idea.

You should find the 'desktop' file in:

	$HOME/.local/share/application/kde4/

you need to move this somewhere.  I suggest:

	$HOME/.local/share/panel_icons/

Now you should find that using the menu will be back to normal.

Remove the icon from the panel (which is now a dead link).  Now add the 
icon again dragging/

	$HOME/.local/share/panel_icons/konsole.desktop

You will probably have to change the icon it displays back to 
"utilities-terminal".  You can do this either by using the properties 
window and clicking on the icon and selecting from the dialog or by 
editing the file.
