I tested : - Inserting kdesu before the command line within the command field - Selecting Run as a different user / root within the Advanced Options window 7/ Wait for the system configuration to update 8/ Reopen the Traditional Menu Based Application Launcher, one can see that : Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: A/ The application is no longer labeled in it's menu category B/ The apllication is labeled (with a default icon) in the lost+found category Expected Results: KDE menu unchanged (Application lable still in place in its category)
Additionally : 9/ Launch the Menu Editor 10/ Select Edit / Restore to System Menu One can see that : C/ Items are correctly restored in their original place in the menu, however, icons created on the desktop at step 3 are deleted.
It's probably best if you file a bug at bugs.kde.org and link to it here. Have you already tried newer kde versions?
