Move or delete ~/.local and ~/.config - they may be overriding global menu defaults. Run update-menus as root to rebuild the menus. Note that when you run update-menus as root, the global default menus are rebuilt. If you run update-menus as a normal user, only your menu files in ~/.local and ~/.config get redone. Note that if you run update-menus as a user right after using the menu editor to change things, your changes will be blown away & replaced by defaults. Yes. the menus need fixing. Especially with regards to usability. There are too many submenus in the K menu, and they have too many items. And there should not be a separate Debian subtree - everything in there needs to be put in KDE's regular categories. l8r Doug
