Thanks for the advice! =) I will contact the kdenlive developers about this small patch. Hm.. I started from apt-get source kdenlive -- the source that was there + this patch built for me and the (non-source) package installed fine. I'm sure you'll find the culprit. -- kdenlive missing menu icon

Harald, thank you for giving a direction -- it sped up the diagnosis. The problem is due to a change made outside of kdenlive: the .desktop files used to be stored in /usr/share/applnk/ but now they should be stored in /usr/share/applications/kde. The icon appears to be in order. The fix involves:
