Description Timpson 2009-02-21 21:53:25 UTC 
Version:           0.8 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), 4.2.0-10.fc10 Fedora)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686

ive opened up up the menu editor by right clicking on the launcher in the kde panel.  I add an item and try to save but get the error:

********
Menu changes could not be saved because of the following problem:

Could not write to /home/tim/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu
********

drwx------ 3 root root 4.0K 2009-01-15 00:51 /home/tim/.config/menus

[root@localhost menus]# ls
applications-merged
[root@localhost applications-merged]# ls
xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu

So you started KDE as root with $HOME as /home/tim - chown -R tim. /home/tim to fix.
