KMenuEdit not saving

I am having a problem with kmenuedit. I edit the menu and nothing changes in the system. I have restarted the session after editing the menu to no avail. I found a xml file describing the edits I made in ~/.config/menus/ and I found a lot of dir entries in ~/.local/share/something/. I have searched the forums and googled and searched the kde bugzilla and found many people with the same problem as me, but all the solutions don't work for me.

No comments on KDE vs. other wms please. I am trying it out after a year of XFce4. ;-)

I ran acrsss denu, a menu generator, which looks promising as an alternative:
