Hey there, new at the forum -- for this very reason. The menubar (the standard toolbar which is default in most applications and windows) has disappeared from all applications. It's quite frustrating as I can't access settings to certain apps like konsole and konversation. It happened after I had configured KDE a little and done some visual tweaking and I think it happened first when I was messing around with konsole. Anyways, I've tried everything I could think of to rectify the problem. I've tried right-clicking on an app and toggling "Menubar" (which didn't work as the checkbox just goes on and off with no effect), I've tried using the CTRL+ALT+M keyboard combinations which didn't work, I've deleted the individual user configuration files, I even made a new user to test if it was some settings file I had missed, both which should've worked, but didn't. All to no avail. I've googled around, some people suggesting setting "Desktop Settings" (which isn't even an option in system settings -- so I just set everything to default) which didn't work either. The only thing I haven't tried is downgrading or upgrading KDE, which can be a bit of a hastle since I'm using Arch Linux. But I used KDE in Ubuntu for a little under a week ago and I had the same problem there.

I'm using the latest Arch Linux with KDE Platform Version 4.9.5. If you need anymore info please let me know.

If you're not sure of what I can do to fix this problem please tell me what I can do to understand the problem better, like how to log the components which are responsible for the menubar, so I can post to the bugtracker with something a little bit more substantial than "OMG, my menubar is gone". I'm guessing that it might be a form of self-preservation by KDE since the menubar has completely buggered off, even from a new blank slate user. I'd like to get this fixed as I'm fond of the KDE environment.

In advance: thank you
