As requested by some people (Xu_R AKA The Old

the reasoning behind my kmenu setup.
I would appreciate any input to improve the setup.

I can certainly relate to the usability issues you identify. May I
suggest renaming Desktop Publishing. That has very specific meaning to
many folks such as myself. I'm not sure what a good name would be
because there are so many important items in there. Perhaps something
like Productivity Tools, Office Tools, Business Tools - I'm not sure.
I'll admit that I didn't like the KDE4 menu system at all but, as I used
it more and more, I realized it did make one important improvement once
it sunk in how to use it. It allowed the mouse to stay still and move
the menu (via scrolling) rather than keeping the menu fixed and moving
the mouse. Once I got used to that, it was much, much more productive
than moving my mouse all over the screen. Would there be some way to
incorporate that? Thanks - John

that's not a bad idea, Productivity Tools. Perhaps the answer it so to
create new parent directories, one for Desktop Publishing, One for
Productivity Tools, etc.
I need to think about it, but this is the input I needed. Thanks.
As for the kde4 kmenu not, being mouse responsive (no auto-selection),
I completely agree. I think auto selection was a bad idea to begin
with. I've found it to be a bother rather than a use feature.
I do hope its something we can use.
thank you again for the useful input.
