I would like to customize the KMenu for any new users created on my system. Does anyone know of a good tutorial on editing the default KMenu items and structure from the command line? I'm trying to read up on .menu, .directory, and .desktop files and the hierarchy based on their locations...but one simple HOWTO would save me hours.

Re: Changing KMenu Defaults
I think I have a lead from a post in 2004...
1. Configure your KMenu using the GUI. It will record your changes to ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu. Copy that file to /etc/xdg/menus/mychanges.menu.
2. Add the following to the bottom of /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications.menu:
<MergeFile>mychanges.menu</MergeFile>

(EDIT: I've changed the directories referenced in that post from /etc/xdg/menus/ to /usr/share/app-install/desktop/).
(EDIT: My bad. It is /etc/xdg/menus/. Fixed post to reflect.)
This is for one big modification as opposed to individually adding "Hidden=true" to the .desktop files.
