Description Fabio Correa 2008-01-23 01:12:48 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc 4.1.1 
OS:                Linux

Every menu item haves a "Type=Application" entry, specifying it corresponds to a program.

When some menu item is changed from the system default, a local (user-local) version of the corresponding .desktop file is created. It seems that kmenuedit makes this local version from scratch, instead of copying it from the system-wide directory then modifying it. The local version does not include the "Type=Application" key, then the .desktop file, stored at $HOME/.local/applications, is not regarded of as a menu entry. As a result, the menu entry does not appear anymore.

Keep up the great work with KDE 4!!!!

Tested in KDE 4, Type=Application is present in the local version now.
