Are the menu entries still flagged if you delete then recreate them?

Here are some suggestions of last resort:

The hacky fix is to trick the script into thinking that it's already run to
completion by editing ~/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals.  The section you
want would look like this:

[R14 XDG Updates]
Updated=false
Version=201412270

Flip the "Updated" key to "true" and the script shouldn't fire again until you
update TDE and it installs a new version of the script.

The even hackier fix is to edit starttde and prevent the script from running 
at all.

Don't do either of these if you care about the minor housekeeping 
fixes the script makes.  They are not the "correct" answer, just a way of 
getting the script to shut up if everything else fails.
