Only really as I did it - the application that is failing is kmenuedit - the 
fact that the menu has disappeared is not actually a problem. What matters is 
that the menu cannot be recreated - which also explains why it is now absent 
as the system may be trying, and failing, to create it.

So you start with kmenuedit and look at the *Debian* bugs for that program. 
You can browse them with reportbug or at the debian site.

In my case, I found a similar bug and added some more information. I then got 
the answer back by email from one of the developers explaining how kdelibs 
had caused the problem and that kmenuedit was merely the symptom. He also 
gave information on the workaround.

If you read through the page that I put in the last message, you can see how 
that process worked.
