Public bug reported: A KDE bug (#283579 [1]) makes it impossible to add new menu entries to the application launcher due to kmenuedit incorrectly handling the .desktop field OnlyShowIn [2]. I submitted a patch to the KDE bug tracker, but I guess it'll take time for someone to pick it up. Since it's a small and non-invasive patch that restores a pretty important feature (adding to the launcher menu), perhaps it can be considered for inclusion into an upcoming Ubuntu version of kde-workspace?
The KDE bug's comments 8, 14 and 15 in particular explain the bug and the patch. The patch was made against kde-workspace-4:4.7.2-0ubuntu1.
