Interesting. I agree with your interpretation: If a .desktop file has an
OnlyShowIn=KDE field and the only show in KDE box is not checked in KMenuEdit,
then it will write an *empty* OnlyShowIn field. If I read the Freedesktop
specification [1] correctly, this means the entry described by the .desktop
file should *not be shown by any* desktop environment. Thus KDE's menu
(correctly) does not show it.
