Hello Kees, I have just found and opened a new bug in edubuntu-menueditor * https://bugs.launchpad.net/menueditor/+bug/634638
First you will need to import your menu file without a space in the name. and you will need to rename the "sound & video" menu name to "Multimedia", as commented in the lp:#619226 the character "&" cause a problem within the xml file. With those 2 fixes everything should work. Thanks for feedback, this is appreciated.
