Nesting is a necessity of a k/start menu. The tradeoff has to be made between 
the nesting deepness and offering a good overview over each level. As kdetoys 
are rarely used (not for production use anyway), their level of importance in 
the K menu shouldn't be top-priority as they are now with their own top-entry 
in the K menu. This is what I tried to reduce by this, and the only section 
they would fit into would be games, and everyone could find them there.
