SUMMARY
Cannot edit application menu

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. From the Application Launcher --> Edit Applications
2. Select e.g. Internet submenu --> New Item
3. Enter details of application and --> Save

OBSERVED RESULT

Returns the error:

"Menu changes could not be saved because of the following problem:
Could not write to /home/user/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu"

I can however edit an existing entry. Manually adding an empty text file to the
path specified in the error cures the problem

EXPECTED RESULT
New item should save without error.
