Where did you put this file?

If you use that file (which is correct AFAIK except for the name) as:

	/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/X11-legacy.menu

This will add your legacy menus.  IIUC, that isn't what you want.  You want to 
get rid of the non-legacy menus as well.

You are also going to need have something else for:

	/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu

Exactly how much, I'm not sure but I would start by trying this:

<Menu>
	<Name>KDE</Name>
	<Directory>kde-main.directory</Directory>
	<!-- Search the default locations -->
	<KDELegacyDirs/>
	<DefaultAppDirs/>
	<DefaultDirectoryDirs/>
	<DefaultLayout>
		<Merge type="menus"/>
		<Merge type="files"/>
		<Separator/>
		<Menuname>More</Menuname>
	</DefaultLayout>
	<Layout>
		<Merge type="menus"/>
		<Menuname>Applications</Menuname>
		<Merge type="files"/>
	</Layout>

	<DefaultMergeDirs/>
	<MergeFile>applications-kmenuedit.menu</MergeFile>
</Menu>

Some of this might not be needed.
