[QCLUG] Organize KMenu

[Mark Riedesel]

Hey Bob,

You're probably best off creating a separate menu panel and putting things
in it manually. I tend to not use the menus all that often because clicking
through the menu tree is time consuming. Typically what I do is use the Run
Command dialog (Alt+F2), quickly type in the app I'm interested in (eg.
firefox, konsole, pidgin, gimp), and hit enter. Additionally, there's a nice
keystroke launcher by the name of Launchy ( http://www.launchy.net ). They
recently released a linux version but I don't think it's available from the
official Ubuntu repositories yet, but you can download the .deb file and
install it manually: sudo dpkg -i launchy_2.1.2-1-i386.deb.
