How does one edit the main TDE menu?

I found a button labelled "Edit TDE Menu" at Trinity Control Center | Desktop | Panels | Menus, but it does nothing when clicked.

You should have KMenuEdit on the Settings menu.

I'm not sure which "Settings" menu you mean. If you mean "Settings" on the main TDE menu, there is no KMenuEdit.

Or, if the panel is unlocked, right-click on the Menu icon, and you'll see Menu Editor.

Yes, but if I click that item, nothing happens.

Or, find the menu item you want to edit, right-click, and select Edit Item.

I immediately get an error saying: "Unable to contact khotkeys. Your changes are saved, but they could not be activated [even though this is NOT after trying to change anything, just after selecting "Edit Item"]".

Can you run kmenuedit from a shell? If that doesn't work, it may not be installed.

I immediately get exactly the same error message as the one I mentioned before: "Unable to contact khotkeys. Your changes are saved, but they could not be activated".

Something seems to be very wrong, even though I have made no changes other than applying updates as they are made available (and logging out and back in as necessary after applying updates).

hmm, is khotkeys running? If not, try starting it. It should be in /opt/trinity/bin.

It is there, and it is running:

-------

[ZB:radio] ls -al /opt/trinity/bin/khot* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15216 Feb 23 10:38 /opt/trinity/bin/khotkeys [ZB:radio] ps auxw | grep khot* n7dr 21472 0.0 0.0 6076 716 pts/2 S+ 13:38 0:00 grep khot* n7dr 29334 0.0 0.0 80896 23308 ? S 09:36 0:04 khotkeys [tdeinit] [ZB:radio]

We're pretty close to the limits of my pay grade here, so hopefully someone else can chime in if you need further help.

I hope someone has something to suggest. I have no idea what the problem might be. But then, that's usually the case: by the time I get to the point of asking here, it means I've already tried everything I can think of :-)

I'd suggest Alt+F2 then just type kmenuedit and return. The menu editor should appear. I don't think it was a k->t rename, but you can always try tmenuedit as well.

Don't know if we are talking about the same thing here. KMenuEdit would now be TDEMenuEdit, am I right?

If so, then you need only right-click on your TDE Menu, and Menu Editor is one of your choices.

If right-click doesn't work on this item, then try unlocking your lower panel. Also works - but is awkware - try alt-F1, then choose a menu item and right-click, and you will be given a choice to edit item, which takes you to the TDE Menu Editor.
