Version: kmenuedit 0.7 kde 3.5.6 release 64.1 openSUSE (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux openSUSE 10.2. after installing RealPlayer I noticed that menu entry for it is in the main branch of Multimedia menu. so I moved it to Video players branch. after that I noticed that there is already a menu entry for realplayer in this branch, so I deleted one of entries. then Save and Quit. a result is on the screenshot - most of branches from Multimedia are gone while they are still visible in kmenuedit. a menu search finds all those applications too. I created yet another new user - same, half-empty Multimedia menu appears.
Created attachment 20351 [details] screenshot showing Multimedia menu and kmenuedit window.
This is normal, the "reduce menu depth" patch flattens submenus containing only one item into a top level item. The workaround is to add the following line to the [menus] section of the $HOME/.kde/share/config/kickerrc file: ReduceMenuDepth=false
