That "Show Hidden Items" is no longer in 9.0's Kmenu Editor. The menu system 
has changed for 9.0 in preparation for KDE 3.2's XDG menu system. The Control 
Center, Look & Feel, Menu Settings are gone too in 9.0.

This is one area where we need to specify 9.0 versus 8.2 and earlier. 
Otherwise it gets very confusing.
