After a power outage triggering the need for fsck on several partitions, it

entries? I think I could uninstall KDE and reinstall, but that seems
too "brute force".

Before you worry about menus, consider if anything else was broken. Is
it a KDE problem, or a problem in your home directory. If you create a
new user, can you create menu items? If so, reinstalling KDE won't help
since the problem is in your own home directory. Look for signs of
anything else missing.
