Got it! In /etc/xdg/menus there's no KDE menu in my system, and that's why the applications menu is empty in e17, if I choose this option.

In fact, I think, I slowly start to understand the paradigm, here. This way it is possible, to open all the needed dialogs, then do the settings, and finally close one dialog after another quickly.
