I don't know about entries.  However, empty submenus will appear in the 
editor but will not be displayed in the KMenu.

As it is currently set up, modifying the menu as root only changes the menu 
for the 'root' account.  AFAIK, there currently isn't any way to directly 
use the Menu Editor to edit the global KMenu.

If you are using KDE 3.1.x, you need to copy your changes from: 
/root/.kde/ahare/applnk/<whatever>/ to: $KDEDIR/share/applnk/<whatever>/. 
It is possible that opening a Konsole and setting: KDEHOME=$KDEDIR; export 
KDEHOME and then running: "kmenuedit" will properly modify the global KMenu.

If you are using KDE 3.2, the menu system has changed and AFAIK, the only 
way to modify the global KMenu is to do it by hand. :-(  How to do this 
depends on what changes you want to make.
