Has anybody yet come up with a quick fix for this bug? or even a slow fix? I 
have read all the comments in this thread, and also follow Michele Calgaro's 
instructions about changing the lines (from kde to tde) in that file: 

~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu

However, when I reboot, I still get the same error messages. 

I am running Devuan Ascii (= Debian Stretch), and I have purged all other 
desktops and their spawn, notably KDE4 and KDE5. As much as possible, I am 
running pure TDE right now, except for some pan-Linux items that do not bring 
in KDE dependencies, etc. 

It is not a big problem; only a slight annoyance that I can live with until it 
gets resolved. But now I am spoilt, as I am used to TDE working without a 
hitch. Everything else works fine, no problems. 

On the bright side: a slightly buggy TDE is still ten thousand times better 
than any other desktop out there.
