Search for the thread with the heading "r14-xdg-update script problem"; the 
issue is discussed rather at length. 

These files need to have their entries for KDE (and any other intruders) 
purged:

/home/<USER>/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit
/var/tmp/tdecache-<USER>/r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt

Somewhere I have buried more detailed instructions, how to remove/edit the 
unwanted items, but this might be enough for you to work it out yourself. I 
believe Michelle said that a little "housecleaning" is needed afterwards; in 
my own case, some of my startup settings were lost, which was annoying but 
unavoidable, and easy enough to restore.
