A glance at it suggests that it includes lots of things that I didn't add
manually. But it would also be a huge headache to try to edit it into any
kind of order.
Still, it's more than nothing. I just see no obvious way, other than
cut'n'paste in a text editor, to manipulate it.
Am I the only one who finds KMenu troublesome?

ME!
Which is why, since they went xml or whatever, I've been creating my own
menus.
What I do, is create a dir called "system" in my user dir
then add 'kmenu"
I give the dir a hidden icon, setup the .directory file.
Submenus, and desktop items.
I then add them as quick browsers to kicker.
I use kbfx as a main menu (thank you Ali) search function to find items I want
and copy them to the appropriate submenu in my custom kmenu.
The kids love the "penguin menu" where all the most used items are.
This can easily be customized using drag and drop and text editors.
I also create a custom menu using keditmenu to add items I want to have
keyboard hot keys.
A few steps but once it's done you can back it up, add, subtract items etc.
Been doing it since 3.5.
Cheers
