           Summary: menu items created by kmenuedit are not visible in
                    k-menu
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: gstengel at gmx.net


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

When I create new menu items with kmenuedit, they don't show up in the in the
k-menu!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a new menu item with kmenuedit
2. save and close the menu editor
3. open k-menu

Actual Results:  
Then new item isn't displayed

Expected Results:  
It should be displayed excactly where it was created with kmenuedit

The root cause seems to be that kmenuedit creates an empty entry 
OnlyShowIn=
in the newly created .desktop file which seems to interpreted by the k-menu as
not to show anything (if I change it to OnlyShowIn=KDE; it works).

I think an empty OnlyShowIn= line should be treated exactly as if the line
wasn't there at all (as it is the case for most .desktop files). You may
disagree, but if it is the desired behaviour not to show anything in the k-menu
for an empty OnlyShowIn entry then it's wrong to create an empty OnlyShowIn
entry by kmenuedit by default!
