As requested by some people (Xu_R AKA The Old Man) an odt and pdf of the reasoning behind my kmenu setup.
I would appreciate any input to improve the setup.
Thanks

Thank you Kate!
I generally spend a couple of hours sorting apps into their logical places when I start with a fresh install. Standardizing kmenu into a logical order limiting each menu/submenu entry to ~ 10-15 items with a max depth of ~4 is much needed. Here are two thoughts for consideration:
(1) of the existing distros that did a good job with kmenu, SuSE's inclusion of a 'Utilities' submenu that held all the kde apps really helped with organization. Here is a shot of what I adapted from an old openSuSE 11.0 install:

(2) everybody also has a subset of applications they use most frequently. What I call "mytools" or I guess what "User-Apps" is intended for in your setup. For what it is worth, here is a shot of the collection of mytools that may have a submenu or two that may be of interest:

(I don't know how the duplicate basket entries got there. On suse, when you edit the gnome menu, you often get unwanted side-effects in the k3 menu as well)
I think this effort to tame the kmenu jungle is well worth the time and I thank you for your efforts.
