I've got a few applications - the games from HumbleBundle 2 - that have been added to the KMenu by their installers. When I navigate to the applications in the KMenu, the icons are showing, but there is no text next to the icons (Application name field is empty). A mouse hover shows the app names in grey text in the Description field.

Can you reproduce this creating a menu entry from scratch? If so, give comprehensive steps. If not, attach one of the HumbleBundle-created .desktop files and we can test it (eg symlinking /usr/bin/some-game to /bin/true).
Yes it's reproducible. 1. Right-click KMenu 2. Select Edit applications 3. Pick a menu entry point. I selected Games > Arcade 4. Click New item 5. Name item Testing 6. Fill in the Command field with a known application... for example kwrite 7. Do not give it the optional description 8. Save When you check the KMenu at this point the object is visible in the menu, but the name is not visible. Hover with a mouse and the name shows up in the Description area. If I go back into the menu editor and give the new object a description, then the name shows up in the right place, and the new description shows on mouse hover. Interestingly, the Humble Bundle game items all have a Comment. If I add a new Description, leaving the comment, then the problem persists. If i move the Comment to the Description, then everything is back to normal. So, it seems that a menu object with a Name but no Description or Comment displays incorrectly. A menu item with a Name, Description and Comment displays incorrectly. Ummmm.. does that make sense?
