I have more info: Although the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts menu entry is also missing, I can assign a global shortcut to this action in systemsettings. Then, I use this shortcut to open the config in kile and assign a shortcut to the settings dialog. However, the settings dialog does not open even after activating it via this new keyboard shortcut. O.k., I've been annoyed by this again and after some googling I think I finally found the source of my problems: Kile installs a file called kileui.rc into ~/.kde/share/apps/kile The file is is __almost__ a copy of /usr/share/kde4/apps/kile/kileui.rc in addition to some inconsequential changes (switched order of attributes, etc) it has an added noMerge="1" attribute on several menus, including the Settings menu. Removing this attribute restores the settings menu for me... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 314580 *** |
Created attachment 105309 [details] Screenshot showing the Settings menu without Configure Kile... When running Kile, I eventually lose access to the Configure Kile dialog (the settings menu only contains options to configure the viewer and viewer backends; the help menu, on the other hand, only contains entries for the Editor component and Backend). Note that when I run kile for the first time, the menu seems to work fine, but eventually (after tweaking some settings and running Kile several times), the entries disappear. I have no idea how to go back to the entries besides deleting my kile configuration (haven't tried that yet, though). Note: The bug occurs also in the KDE4 version of Kile. Note: I am using the global-menu applet.
