--- Comment #27 from Wolfgang Bauer <wbauer at tmo.at> ---
This is actually a bug in the kconfig framework, not in kmenuedit.

KDesktopFile::locateLocal() returns the wrong path (~/.local/share/ instead of
~/.local/share/desktop-directories/).
kmenuedit uses this function to get the save path, so the changes are saved to
the wrong location (as has been pointed out here already) and are therefore
ignored.
(kmenuedit cannot just change the original file because it may be located in a
system-wide folder, normally /usr/share/desktop-directories/, where the user
cannot write changes to)

Proposed fix:
https://phabricator.kde.org/D5502

Other than that, creating a new submenu does work fine here.
But please note that the application menu hides *empty* folders, so you need to
create actual entries in the submenu first to make it show up.
