           Summary: Edited menu structure does not show in application

Screenshot showing difference betweeen menu editor and application launcher
menus

SUMMARY

The results are not shown in the application dashboard when using kde menu
editor to edit the menu structure, including adding new menus, separators and
sub-menus (or folders), 

I ran kmenueditor from console, and there were no errors output. The changes
simply aren't shown in the application dashboard.

This may just be a case of lack of implementation, but if so, it would nice to
get a notice that these features have not been implemented yet, so we don't
waste time trying to figure out why we can't organize our menus, instead of
saving successfully but never being applied. Optimally, it should work
correctly. :)


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch to application dashboard, if not already enabled.
2. Open kmenueditor to edit the dashboard
3. Try adding new menu entries, separators and sub-menus
4. Click save
5. View (lack of) results in application dashboard

OBSERVED RESULT
No separators or sub-menus shown. Every entry is just dumped in to the first
level menu.

EXPECTED RESULT
New menu entries should show up. Separators should show where they're added,
and  sub-menus/folders/something should show for menu entries besides the top
level menu.

SCREENSHOT
In the attached screenshot you can see the menu editor on the right hand side.
It has test menu and test entry added to it at the top, both of which are not
showing in the application dashboard on the left.

Also, the Games menu has been modified to include a sub-folder named 'Steam',
surrounded by separators, with a number of entries (visible in menu editor).
However, the sub-folder and separators are not shown in the application
dashboard, and all of the entries are dumped together in to the main 'Games'
menu.
