I have the same problem using debian-testing (kde 3.2.2). I have not tried adding or removing entries/submenus, but editing menus does not work. I followed the instructions have attached file1 and file2, i have not attached file3 as there was no diff (so i dont see a reason to attach an empty file), but will provide it if you want.
When following your second suggest, the first time i ran kmenuedit after moving the applications-kmenuedit.menu out of the way, the entry i was trying to edit (MPlayer) was still there, and i changed it and saved the menu. however, when i ran kmenuedit again, the entry was missing entirely. Here are the steps i follow to edit a menu entry: run: kmenuedit expand "Multimedia", select "MPlayer", delete text in the "Command" field: "/usr/bin/gmplayer < /dev/null", type in new text: "mplayer" select file->save, the "updating system configuration" dialog appears, the progress bar goes to 100% and then the dialog closes itself. then i select file->quit. when i run kmenuedit again or try to use konqueror to open a file with mplayer, it goes back to using gmplayer (in kmenuedit, the command string is the same as it was originally).
