I would recommend that unless you are generally familiar with configuring 
things by hand editing files that you use the KDE Menu Editor to make 
changes in the menu.

If you are trying to add a new menu category, you need both a "*.directory" 
file in "$KDEDIR/share/desktop-directories/" and a "*.menu" file in: 
"/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged"
