i'm an Lubuntu user, but i suppose it concerns everyone.

For menu editing there are 3 GUIs: lxmed, menulibre, alacarte. great! Still the ISSUE is that if i start as administrator, for example:

gram@gram-pc:~$ alacarte will edit menu, till the time i close app. it doesn't have permission for that... so nothing in menu has been changed...

gram@gram-pc:~$ gksudo alacarte or root@gram-pc:/# alacarte will open completely different menu with completely different items...

how can i grand permission to edit my-not-root-menu?

This is a workaround. Not the actual solution for your problem:

Execute this command in Terminal:

sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/applications/*

We permitted the entire world to change your menu settings.
So alacarte can save settings as well.

To revert this execute command:

sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/applications/*
