I can confirm your observations. In the KDE menu editor I explicitly exclude 
deleted items from the default "OnlyUnallocated" menu in addition. That's 
rather hackish.

Maybe we can add an attribute to the exclude tag to indicate that we really 
don't want this entry around, and that it should be considered "allocated to 
this menu but not shown"

Cheers,
Waldo
