So I d/l gqview from where I found the rpm, and installed it. It didn't show in my kde menu, so I did something *really* dumb: I ran the kde menu updater.
Now I can't lock my screen. Nothing at all happens. Nothing shows in .xsession-errors, nothing shows in /var/log/messages.
I restored all of .kde/share from last night's backup... and the screensaver still doesn't go, and leave->lock screen still doesn't work... *and* gqview is still in my menu, which means that it's stored *somewhere*. I even reinstalled kde, and kde-settings, and some libs, and *still* no screensaver, and gqview's still on my menu. It's got to have been changed somewhere.... Any clues?

Ok, I *finally* found the kde screensaver/lock: /usr/libexec/kde4/kscreenlocker --forcelock. What I can't find is how to edit the start menu for "leave": that's *down* below what the regular menu editor lets me see....

"Leave" isnt part of the applications menu, so you cannot edit it.
Then what *is* it part of? How did the KDE "menu updater" screw this pooch?

It's simply a hard-coded (via code) part of the application launcher.

In a constructive vein, could you describe your motivation(s) for wanting to edit the "Leave" menu? Knowing that, perhaps we could find some alternative/better approach.

I guess you missed the beginning of this thread: I wanted to add gqview to the menu, so I ran the KDE menu updater... and it broke leave - clicking leave give me the submenu, bot lock screen does *nothing* at all. I'm trying to restore it, rather than having to type my alias for ... I'm not at work yet, and I've got 5.9 here, not 6.4, but it's kde's screenlocker. That works fine; it's just the menu option hosed.

Strange indeed, menu editor obviously shouldn't do that. :(
the customizations should get saved to something under: ~/.config/menus/
You could try removing stuff from there (manually re-running 'kbuildsycoca4' after manual changes) until Leave works again.
