Version: 1.0 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Kubuntu packages) OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-19-generic Keyboard shortcuts defined by kmenuedit are disabled by default. This, however, is not apparent within kmenuedit itself. Instead, kmenuedit shortcuts need to be enabled in System Settings, tab Input Actions. This is very counter-intuitive and leads people to believe that shortcuts are broken.
I can't reproduce this problem. Any shortcut i set with kmenuedit immediately works. And that is how it is supposed to be. This was a problem in some earlier release (i think 4.1). But i can't imagine you use such a old version.
Just for clarification: The problem is NOT with kmenuedit, but with systemsettings. On a fresh install (in my case Kubuntu 10.4 Beta 1), navigate to System Setting -> Input Actions. On the left-hand side there are several categories, including KMenuEdit. The checkmark next to KMenuEdit was missing, thus disabling all kmenuedit shortcuts. I suggest to change this default. (If this is a Kubuntu issue rather than a general KDE issue then please let me know and I'll open a ticket with Ubuntu.)

This still happens on a KDE 4.4.3 which was upgraded from 4.4.2. Is that caused by old settings lingering around or wasn't this patch backported to the 4.4 branch?
