           Summary: kmenuedit items don't show up
           Product: kmenuedit
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rhavenn at rhavenn.net


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

Somewhere between 4.7.1 and 4.7.2 kmenuedit either changed how it writes
application files or KDE changed how it reads them. I'm not sure if this is a
kmenuedit bug or a KDE menu bug.

I'm able to create application items and new sub-menus, but once I close
kmenuedit and re-open it the application items are gone. The sub-menu's
persist. The applications also don't show up in the KDE menu and since they're
"empty" neither do the sub-menus.

The .desktop files get written correctly to:
~/.local/share/applications

Removing the line:
OnlyShowIn=

or changing it to:
OnlyShowIn=KDE;

fixes the issue. Once this change is done the application items show up in the
KDE menu and in kmenueditor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
fresh install of Arch Linux and KDE 4.7.2 meta packages. Open kmenuedit, create
a new sub-menu and add an application item.

Actual Results:  
no applications icons show up in the KDE menu

Expected Results:  
new menu items in the KDE menu

I don't know if it's the interpretation of the "OnlyShowIn=" line that changed
between 4.7.1 and 4.7.2 or if kmenuedit changed how it writes them.
