KDE - Menu Editor hangs on

It would seem that a more fundamental problem exists, and it might be better to focus on fixing that. You can read threads like the following to see what helpful information you can provide.

This is kind of a kludge, but you could set a local copy of a .desktop file to not display. Let’s say I wanted to “remove” firefox from my menu.

  1. Copy /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/
  2. Edit your local copy and add the line NoDisplay=true
  3. Log out and back in if necessary.
  4. To restore the menu entry, you can delete the NoDisplay line or just remove the local copy of the .desktop file.
