Version: 0.5 (using KDE 3.2.0 RC1, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-18.9 Since Beta 2 (currently using RC1) it's not possible to change the menu icon. If I click on the icon button, select a icon and click on OK, the new icon is shown on the button, but not in the menu hierachy on the left. After clicking on a different menu item and then clicking again on the changed icon, it still shows the old icon. Workaround: Create items with the editor, open the folder in Konqueror below ~/.kde/share/applnk, select properties from the context menu of the item and choose the icon you want.
Oops... the icons are in ~/.local/share/applications and not longer in ~/.kde/share/applnk

I'm experiencing this problem still with kdebase-3.2.1. I'm trying to assign an icon to Mozilla Firefox but it won't stick. In kmenuedit the changes are made and it edits ~/.local/share/applications/kde-mozilla-firefox.desktop successfully. However, the actual menu appears to be read from ~/.kde/share/applnk. I tried moving it but kmenu showed no signs of reading from .local/share/applications. Can this bug be re-opened?
Richard: I'm pretty confident that your problem has a slightly different cause and that that has been fixed for KDE 3.2.2, KDE 3.2.2 will be out in about a week. As a workaround you can move Mozilla to a different submenu, once you have done that I expect that changes will stick.
Indeed, that fixed it! Sorry for the false alarm :-) Thanks for the reply, and I'm thrilled to hear about 3.2.2

This bug - or a very similar one - still seems to be present in KDE-4.2.1 . I right-click on the f-button, and choose Menu Editor. I click on New Item, and give a name. Then as soon as I click on the "?" icon the application crashes, with the error message: ------------------------------- A Fatal Error Occurred The application KDE Menu Editor (kmenuedit) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV). -------------------------------
Timothy, this old report refers to an early KDE 3.x version. KDE 4 is a different story. You should file a new bug report for your problem.
