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.
Or, if the panel is unlocked, right-click on the Menu icon, and you'll see
Menu Editor.
Or, find the menu item you want to edit, right-click, and select Edit Item.

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.

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.
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.

I ended up reinstalling several tdebase trinity packages, and since doing that
everything seems to be working the way it's supposed to.
I don't know if there were some useful error messages written somewhere that
would have helped me reach that step earlier --- I never saw anything useful
and tried reinstalling because I couldn't think of anything else that might be
worth doing.
