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?
