Same here. 

There's a /etc/menu-methods/kdm from June 2002 that's not containted
in any pkg.  My guess is that it's from an old version of kde. It
refers to /usr/bin/kdm-update-menu that got removed as it should
on upgrade.

Anyone knows what happens on upgrade with config files that
a no longer in newer version of a pkg? Looks like they are
kept on disk.   Does policy allow to remove config files
that are no longer used?  If yes, we should file a bug report
against kdm.

Mhmm,  /etc/menu-methods/kicker is form pkg kicker, but every
kde apps that has a 'start/open/view with ..' dialog uses the
menu tree. Looks like /etc/menu-methods/kicker should go to
kdelibs-bin or something a pkg like that that every kde app
pulls in via Depends

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
