Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
KDesktop Menu is a replacement menu for use with kicker (KDE). It was inspired
from the Gnome menu applet.... heavily.
Requirements:
- KDE 3.5
- QT 3.3
INSTALL:
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
TODO:
Please read the TODO file for information of planned features as well as my requests for comments on suggested features.
BUGS:
Currently a bug exists when KDeskopMenu is placed horizontally on the bottom of the bar. On first click, the menu pops up at an incorrect position.
If it crashes, configure with --enable-debug=full and then start kicker in konsole.

This is definitely the greatest improvement I have found on this site. It made me love KDE again and stop thinking about gnome!
Still, I have a problem. I feel that I don't have all of the options enabled in my Kubuntu Edgy. In actions, I can only find "switch user" "save session" "lock session" and "logout", while in the Desktop menu, "Personal folder" which doesn't work, "Documents" which opens my home folder and "Media".
Have I done something wrong during compilation?
Keep up the good work!

Would it be possible to have the desktop submenu show all places that show up in the sidebar of the save/open file dialogs? If files are open/saved to those places frequently enough to warrent having shortcuts then it would make sense to have access to them from that menu.
Also, if possible, could you fix the applet to take up all vertical space in the panel. As it is the buttons have about 4 pixels of dead space above them.
And last, this applet doesn't play well with vertical panels. Would it be possible to have the menus stack on top of each other, instead of being a horizontal line?
Thanks for the great work so far!

- Go to the "Menus" tab
- Put a checkmark next to "Bookmarks"
- Click "Apply" and "Ok"
- Right click on the applet and choose "reload configuration"
Hope this helps

The top favourites I may include though.
About the Firefox icon. Does Firefox have an icon in your Kmenu (usually Internet->Firefox)? The icon is pulled from there so if you change the icon in the Kmenu, it should update the default browser thing

It's been awhile since I've used Gentoo, but I believe it should have:
need-kde 3.5
line? Perhaps not, I haven't used Gentoo for awhile.
