[amnon@amnonsstation:~]$ kmenuedit
kmenuedit: WARNING: Could not read /home/amnon/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu
[amnon@amnonsstation:~]$


The file applications-kmenuedit.menu don't exits on my machine. Maybe thats the problem.

i get the same error message, but kmenuedit starts normally.
i guess kmenuedit looks for a local configuration, and if not found it reports an error and uses the global configuration.

... on my machine it didn't save changes for example. Is there a way to fix it? Compiled 3.5.6 for Paldo.

That error message won't dissapear unless you provide the file it's looking for.
But that is not neccesary because kmenuedit does not need the file to function.

the problem you experience is that kmenuedit either starts without a GUI, or dies immediatly.

To check which one is true, you can use the command ps ax | grep kmenuedit

It should give something like this:
20387 pts/1 S 0:01 kmenuedit
27904 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep kmenuedit


if you only get the second line, then kmenuedit is not loaded.
