Forget root! As a nornal user, right-click on the K-menu and select Menu Editor. Select a sub-menu like Applications to expand it, then select a menu item, e.g. KOrganizer. Place your cursor at the end of the Name field and press Space - you should see the Apply and Reset buttons have become active. That's how it works. If those buttons don't become active for you then, you have a duff installation. Did you read The kmenuedit Handbook?
