I understand that, but VirtualBox.desktop points to VirtualBox and since
it is missing, maybe KDE4 just ignores the menu entry (not that I know
this for sure...).

  $ VBox<tab><tab>
  VBox          VBoxDeleteIF  VBoxManage    VBoxTap       VBoxVRDP
  VBoxAddIF     VBoxHeadless  VBoxSDL       VBoxTunctl

Running some of those (for example VBoxManage) outputs version and usage
information, so here everything looks fine.

I installed it with upgradepkg over the 2.0.0 (which had the same
symptoms, but I just hadn't free time to figure things out and assumed
that it may be a problem with 2.0.0 version).

Tried upgradepkg --reinstall.  It's still the same.
