[Bug 135757] Menu changes could not be saved because of the following problem

[big.c.specv]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kmenuedit

Kubuntu Gusty Tribe Four
When i right click on a menu item, i chose "edit item" at which point kmeuedit initiates. everything seems to be working fine until i go to save my changes. 
I receive the following error:

Menu changes could not be saved because of the following problem:
Could not write to /home/USERNAME/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu

(of course replacing my actual username with USERNAME)

now i tried a few things i found on forums using chmod 755 and 777 for
the .config folder and nothing seems to help.

I am a moderate kubuntu user with knowledge i feel far beyond a nub but
this is definitely beyond my grasp.

for example; this is the first time i have ever had to file a bug report
since i started using Ubuntu Hoary i have been able to solve all the
problems using forums and basic understanding and problem solving
skills.

As this is a testing distro thus far i expect bugs so thats why i'm
reporting. hoping to do a little to help make kubuntu and the whole
...buntu family happier.
