Ok, everyone to add a bit to this and maybe help others as well. After much tracking and torment, I have managed to find the new location for menu config. Stan, I don't think cleaning up /tmp would help anything, unless you were having other problems with KDE as well. It would be kinda foolish for SuSE to put a config file there anyway as /tmp gets cleaned out occasionally, right? ;o)
Turns out they have moved this on us and it is now in your $HOME directory under the name .config! Remove that, restart KDE and you'll notice that your menu is brand new and working ok. I can add entries now and move others around, but still cannot add a new submenu heading or add to blank submenu headings already there. Otherwise it works fine!
So, to summarize, your menu config file is no longer in the your /home/<user>/.kde directory with the other config files, it is located in .config now.

Deleting /tmp entries isn't to get rid of bad config files. I do that to get rid of bad or stale lock files that apps set and maybe forget or maybe don't recycle properly. It'll cure the odd kdesu can't login as root problem or when KDE is totally wrapped around the axle and needs to be set free. When I've deleted the ~/.config directory to clear menus it didn't seem to have any effect on my menus. Hmmm. Haven't don it since the kdelibs-3 update and the kconfigsycoca fix. But I'll be trying it next tiem I log into KDE. Stan
