It might help if you closely read the style guide where a lot of these things 
are covered. If you then look at KDE you will notice that these issues are 
not always solved in the way the style guide suggests. IMO it would be a 
constructive step to identiy these discrepancies and see if they can be 
adressed in the KDE code. It might very well be that the style guide isn't 
clear in some areas, in that case the style guide should be clearified.

I don't see any reason to actually change the recommendations made by the 
style guide, that should only be done as a last resort measure if it is very 
clear that something does not work and there is consecus about a way to solve 
that better.

Making ad hoc changes to menu-structures because it looks better at first 
glance is not the way to go.

Cheers,
Waldo
