As requested by some people (Xu_R AKA The Old

the reasoning behind my kmenu setup.
I'm sorry, being under 20 is old? o_O
I would appreciate any input to improve the setup.
Thanks

You can find a few submenus. But NOT TOO MANY!
That's where I think openSUSE got it wrong. It's more work to the
average user, and a pain in the ass after a navigating them a few
times.

I'm not going to go into the details like what
kind of apps should be
in each category.
The thing is, less is better for some people. And giving sub-menu
after sub-menu will drive someone crazy (eventually) if they are not
already by looking at the structure.

I don't like lots of submenus either but there are so many options
available in Linux that the huge menus which can popup are more
cumbersome and confusing that the submenus. I think we need to find a
reasonable balance - John
