After yesterday's upgrade of KDE bits (on FC5 specifically), the 'settings' sub-menu has disappeared from my machine.
So all the items for configuring the display, network, etc. are missing, including the KDE control center.
Comments?

I had the *identical* problem. However, I thought it was something I did when I added a menu entry for Netbeans. After rerunning kcontrol from a prompt then saving/exiting, everything came back.

Humm. I wonder if this is an overflow from FC6. I notice that they were doing some updates to FC5 which looked to me that they were porting a few things into FC5, that they felt was in good shape for FC6.
I will have FC5 up this afternoon, when I am having a muck with the Epson scanner. I will see if I see anything obvious when using KDE.
I assume that they are not being careful enough with their updates and thus you are getting splashed with their bath water.

Not neccessarily an overflow, but they released the latest KDE for both FC5 and FC6 on Monday/Tuesday.

If you update yr FC5, then login with KDE...
Or better yet, log in to an un-updated FC5 with KDE, and you'll see a 'system' as well as ....
...WOAH...!!!!
I just went back to the laptop to check on what I was going to type, and the menu's are now back to normal! Something has obviously happened behind my back. I think I'll post a followup on this one.

I guess not, but there appears to be a background task/cron job that does 'something' like hunt down stuff to stick into the menus.

Mine got a couple of small updates yesterday evening - only about 700k. That seemed to pretty well foul it up. kmail kept crashing, firefox refused to start at all, then the entire system crashed and hung - twice. Rebooted it again and ran the older kernel which got it going long enough to get the 290M of KDE etc updates that appeared later. That finished about 01:00 so I just rebooted it to make sure that it would, powered down and went to bed.
This evening it started up OK, then I noticed that the time was off by an hour. I was just about to try to fix it when the screen went totally black, the hard drive started clattering like crazy, I thought DAMN IT IT'S CRASHED AGAIN! Then about a second later the screen came back, with the correct time and it's still working a couple of hours later.
Now to have a play and see what's new.
At least kwallet now starts up when it's told to!
