[trinity-users][opensuse] menu reconstruction

A fellow user suffered extreme visual impairment, which severely limits his
ability to use his PC. At irregular intervals, I straighten out his problems, and
do his release upgrades.

Somehow in his desire to reduce clutter on Kicker by deleting unused objects he
has managed to eliminate a large number of items from his main menu. Office is
totally absent, even though the entirety of LibreOffice is installed. Likewise,
Internet, Utilities and System are also missing. Is there some simple XDG or other
way to regenerate the menu that doesn't eliminate menu customization or impact Kicker?

suggests

	touch $KDEDIR /share/services/update_ksycoca

Substituting $TDEDIR produces no such file or directory.

# man ksycoca
No manual entry for ksycoca
# man xdgmenu
No manual entry for xdgmenu
# man update-menus
No manual entry for update-menus
$ ls -l .*xdg* *xdg*
ls: cannot access '.*xdg*': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '*xdg*': No such file or directory
