Sorry, I should have been more precise here. Under
/usr/share/desktop-directories
I find files, such as kde-office.directory and xfce-office.directory, and these
contain the translations for these desktop environments. If I select "KDE
Menu" option in e, it uses the KDE .directory files.
If you don't have xfce .directory files here, I guess you don't have Xfce
installed, at all, do you?

I saw this, but this file doesn't include any paths, just category names to be
used in the menu...

Probably yes, but actually I am inclined to think that this should be
considere a bug and fixed upstream, because the file
/etc/xdg/menus/enlightenment.menu
- either needs to include translations
- or not to be used in its current form, at all, if KDE is installed
- or only be used, when enlightenment menu is selected and ignored when KDE
menu is selected by the user.
Generally e shouldn't make assumptions about other installed window managers
and desktop environments, I think. But I wouldn't consider a major bug, as
removing just one file cures the problem by and large. So it's definitely not
something that should get maximum priority, although it should be fixed in a
future version.
Thanks for your support, it helped me to track this down to the level, where I
was able to solve it (for me, at least).

Alex
