Tom....nope, first off there is no /usr/share/kde (whatever)
to change permissions on, Second, kmenuedit launches just
fine from the command line or from it's other link in K(menu),
but not from the link in the chain K(menu)->Panel->Edit
Menus.
When selected it pops up an applet that says that the menu
editor is not installed and persents a button with oops! on
it. This doesn't sound like permissions to me, it sounds like
a link to nothing.
I'd just like to know where that link is in the directory tree
so I can fix it.
