The behaviour below is either a bug or a feature.  But it appears to be a logic
failure of some sort in kmenuedit and the K Menu of kicker.  Is this the way it is
supposed to work?

****
Start kde fresh for a new user.  Accept defaults in Desktop Settings Wizzard.

In Lost & Found folder in the K Menu, find several listings
that actually come from the system file /usr/share/applnk/Applications
At this point the directory ~/.kde/share/applnk exists but is empty.

****
Start kmenuedit.  In the Lost & Found folder, delete a sub-folder called HamRadio.
The result is a new file ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu that contains:
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd";>
<Menu>
 <Menu>
  <Name>Applications</Name>
  <Menu>
   <Name>HamRadio</Name>
   <Deleted/>
  </Menu>
 </Menu>
</Menu>
Now I find that the folder HamRadio is indeed deleted from the K Menu's Lost & Found folder.
This is as it should be.  BTW, "Applications" appears to be the system name for the
directory that is referred to as  "Lost & Found" in the kmenuedit panel and the K Menu.

****

Open kmenuedit again.  Now delete a single desktop entry KSimus from the Lost & Found folder.
The file ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu now reads.
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd";>
<Menu>
 <Menu>
  <Name>Applications</Name>
  <Menu>
   <Name>HamRadio</Name>
   <Deleted/>
  </Menu>
  <Exclude>
   <Filename>kde-ksimus.desktop</Filename>
  </Exclude>
 </Menu>
</Menu>
This looks OK.  But the entry Ksimus is NOT removed.  It still shows up in the K menu.
And when I reopen the kmenuedit panel, the KSimus is back again even though
it appeared to be deleted before.
I delete it again, but nothing changes.  Same result.

****

It appears that kmenuedit is writing correctly to the XML file
~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu, but that both it and the
panel K Menu directory are ignoring what is written there.

****
A similar thing happens when I open kmenueidt and then move KSimus from Lost & Found to 
Utilities.  It does show up in Utilities, but it is not deleted from 
Lost & Found.  The file ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu now reads:
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd";>
<Menu>
 <Menu>
  <Name>Applications</Name>
  <Menu>
   <Name>HamRadio</Name>
   <Deleted/>
  </Menu>
  <Exclude>
   <Filename>kde-ksimus.desktop</Filename>
  </Exclude>
 </Menu>
 <Menu>
  <Name>Utilities</Name>
  <Include>
   <Filename>kde-ksimus.desktop</Filename>
  </Include>
 </Menu>
</Menu>
Ksimus now shows up in BOTH the Utilities AND the Lost & Found directories
in the panel K Menu.
