So... did you check that it's not a "hidden" entry?
Try backing up your ~/.kde and ~/.config (rename them), deleting the
originals then logging out and logging back in again.
Maybe the custom theme has broken things that aren't broken in Sid.
NOTE: if you managed to "install kmenuedit", then Siduction isn't even
built from Sid. There's no similar bugs been reported for Sid - though
it appears as if Siduction is blaming a problem on Debian:-

Once again - I'd suggest you take the issue up with the distribution.
Cheers
