OK, did this and it loads.  BTW, I could load both
opera and seamonkey via cli before just not via K menu
or panel applet icon and still can't.

I will do this again eventually and have a couple of
times already.

Only menu format is different in KDE vs. Gnome. All
have %u after the file name and firefox, which works
in all aspects, has no work path and location is
/usr/share/applications and the others have
/home/lchata/.local/share/applications. All these dirs
have the <file name>.desktop in it, nothing else.

Did this but I only see "/usr/bin" in my kde41. No
difference in results.

Did this also, but the browse menu only shows
non-hidden dirs, no /.files or dir are shown so I cant
get to the hidden ones. I would change the location to
/usr/share/applications for opera and seamonkey but
there doesn't seem to be a method for doing this. 
Don't think a "dpkg-reconfigure" would get anywhere; I
just get a prompt back when I try it.  Open to any
suggestions and will try them but maybe this is a
candidate for a bug report.  Thanks for the help.
