It is still on the system though, and is simple to get it to show on the menu.

sudo kwrite, then navigate to /usr/share/applications/kde, click on 
kcontrol.desktop, scroll down to the bottom of the file, and change the line 
that reads, NoDisplay=true , to NoDisplay=false, save, and it will 
miraculously appear on the menu.

Same goes for other apps missing from the menu, superuser file manager, for 
example.

Sorry if I'm repeating stuff that everyone knows.

Nigel.
