changing/adding menu items

[Bryann Melvin]

I recently added  kubuntu-desktop to my breezy computer as I prefer KDE
over Gnome.

I do seem to have an irritating problem however:

I have tried to add menu items. In particular Abiword for an example. I
have tried several times to add things to the menu, but although
preferences and system settings lets me ADD the item, it doesn't take
and the item never actually gets added to the menu. I can't think of
what I'm missing, I've done this many a time in my OLD SuSE
installation. It Doesn't seem to be working in Kubuntu.
