Just a thought, no bug - K-Menu a bit messy

[metoo]

Hm, any plans to improve the K-Menu entries?
If seen better menus in debian and suse.

I've seen the little sub-menu next to the K-Menu but I don't like it. So:

KDE Control Center missing (just the thing under before mentioned System, using konqueror). Oh, kcontrol in a console opens it...
K Menu Editor not there (could not find it)? Oh, kmenuedit in a console opens it...
No direct link to konqueror (root mode)
No direct link to konqueror (only in this new sub-menu, cannot add it to the taskbar with the taskbar build in function...)
The K-Menu - sub-menus SYSTEM and UTILITIES are totally unstructured (and no KDE Menu Editor with a simple click as mentioned).
Why not grouping e. g. editors (top level for me, as debian), log-in related stuff, user-group management, pim (Palm, alarm, appointments), printing, etc. .

It's not userfriendly to have everything in two big menus. Hiding the k-menueditor on the one side and leaving everything unstructured on the other side does not make sense IMHO.

As said, just a thought, but it currently looks a bit as it would lack loving.

BTW (k)ubuntu breezy i386; fresh netinstall from early September but totally up-to-date as of today.

KDE Control Centre has been replaced by System Settings in Breezy

K Menu Editor not there (could not find it)? Oh, kmenuedit in a console opens it...

Just right click the menu and hit "Edit Menu"

Konqueror can be added to the panel by right click -> Add app to panel -> Konqueror

Thanks Patrick,

KDE Control Center vs System Settings:
Well, I had found that, but I prefer the control center. There you had the tree at left and details at right. That's easier to navigate/oriantate. (What has my file tree (at left after clicking on system settings) to do with the system settings)

Edit-Menu:
Thanks again, didn't know that. That's indeed an improvement.

Konqueror:
OK, I was unclear on this. I meant the filesystem mode of konqueror (that's where you every here and then need the root mode).
It's moved to the system menu next to the K-Menu. But because of that you cannot select it by right-clicking on the panel -> Add to Panel -> Application. You can only select K-Menu entries by that.
I use KDE since V 1... and so I might be a bit unflexibel to adopt new things, but why always change? The system menu will be replaced in my panel by the konqueror/filesystem mode icon. That's the only one, you will need, once the system is configured. The rest is not important enough to force 2 clicks to open konqueror rather than one when it is in the panel directly.
OK, everybody has her/his own opinion on this, but the fact that konqueror (filesystem) is no longer in the K-Menu (and if only in addition) will make it difficult for newcomers to add it to the panel.

Konqueror is under "Internet"

For file-management click on the System menu which should be near the KMenu and click the "Home Folder" one (any)
