Menu Editor Doesn't Update Start Menu

Hello All, I did a fresh install of SuSE 7.3 professional. After I got everything like I wanted, I went in to add some custom apps to the start menu and all looked well in the menu editor, however, when I restart KDE, none of the changes show up. I even checked after I rebooted for another reason and still they don't show up. On my boxes that I struggled through a 7.2->7.3 update, I can edit the menu just fine. Where do I look and what file/script do I need to fix, check permissions, etc? Regards, Keith B.
