I would also like to add that KDE4 does not allow editing of its menus
Please state the version of KDE and don't say "KDE4". There is big difference between KDE4 and KDE 4.0/4.0.4/4.1/4.1.1. "KDE4" means something different. You will find enough documents on the internet about this. Do read about it.
