When you edit the menu with the MenuEditor, it should modify a file:

	$HOME/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu

for the user account that edits the menu.

Did that happen?  If it isn't too long, you might post it or if too long, send 
it to me.

Or, you could delete that file and just add one new item to the menu as a test.

This might be a bug with the MenuEditor.  I have modified the menu and it has 
worked OK, but I did a lot of it by hand.
