If anyone else in the Trinity community has experienced the flattening of the TDE menu
(as I have), this might be a solution to look at.
The OP was from someone evaluating openSUSE Leap 15.5 and modern KDE. It's possible
that
it only affects openSUSE users.

Oh,
You will need to grab the 15.3

for the xdg menu categories (otherwise all items are just dumped in the menu).
This change was a result of Gnome -- and it really sucks. This is one addition
that should be added to the KDE3 repo -- but it does affect all desktops.
Why SUSE let the gnome tail wag the openSUSE dog is bewildering...

I hope I'm wrong but it looks like 15.4-kde
will be my last one.
I haven tried only the kde desktop but I see no way to set up a conventional
Application launcher with thew cascading menu tree. I even pre-copied an
entire user folder from 15.4 but none of that had any effect. What I do see
is a smartphoneish, microcancerish, touchpadish deskdump of which I will
have none. Tomorrow I'll look at the XFCE setup.
Your missing out, the KDE3 repo is the best in the world -- and still just as
good as you remember it :)
