If you use the menu editor and add a submenu to Accessories called 
"TextEditors" and the save it you should see some editors next time you 
look in there.

The category TextEditor seems to have been left out of the whole 
unified-desktop menu mess.

For system wide stuff you can probably just drop whatever *.desktop 
files from /usr/share/applications/kde into /usr/share/applnk and have 
them show up  somewhere in the menus. I'm sure there is a better way to 
do it,  but experimenting in that area is a start.

It also might be an upgrade issue. I installed ee (electric eyes), under 
FC2 and now after the upgrade I have ee submenus in almost evey menu group.
