[Cooker] KDE3 bin directory not in path after kde3 migration

I have just updated every file in kde3 that I could obviously find and
now konsole wont start from the menus because /opt/kde3/bin appears to
not be in the system path as the menu entry is expecting to find konsole
in the path and it isn't. The only way I could start konsole was to
update the menu entry to explicitly point to /opt/kde3/bin. Also with
the migration it would have been nice for task-kde to be updated so that
updating it would have selected all packages belonging the kde3 for
update, rather than the user having to go searching for all kde3
packages to manually update them.

regards,
Steve

It's in the path for me.

Have you opened a new shell yet (or run /bin/bash from your current
shell) to reinitialise your environment? It's done in
/etc/profile.d/91kde3.sh which is part of kdelibs-common-3.5.9-15mdv2009.0.

Sorry Col, it is working fine now. I thought I had rebooted after the
upgrade, but maybe I hadn't.
