SUMMARY
When I attempt to edit an application's execution command, though I can "save" this change, no change is actually made to the application. If one then closes kmenuedit and relaunches it, the change is not preserved. No dialog informs me of an error, either launched from application launcher or from command line.

The only workaround I have requires creating new applications and deleting the old one.
The specific change I am trying to make is the addition of more command line options to kmail, but I have verified this previously for other apps, like Spotify.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open kmenuedit
2. Change the execution command of an application
3. Save the change
4. Close and reopen kmenuedit
5. Observe that the change has been reverted.

OBSERVED RESULT
Changes are completely disregarded

EXPECTED RESULT
Changes should be immediate and preserved.

Not sure if this is related, but it won't save Environment Variables either.
