Its system-wide, is there any way to restore the menus to default?
This is very strange; I had expected otherwise. There should be a directory /usr/share/applications full of .desktop files. That's where KDE looks for its menu. Ther is also /usr/share/applnk-redhat, but I don't really know how Red Hat patched kdelibs for it to support it.
so problem is /usr/share/applnk-redhat not pointing to the right one's
here's a dir listing of the directories involved:
