I've caught this thread a little late, so apologies if I'm repeating stuff.

There are some files in your home directory that act as switches for mandrake. 
In $HOME/.menu/ there is a file called enable-mdk-customizations which, if 
present, will ditch the KDE menu and enable the non-standard Mandrake one. 
(I'm assuming that this is what it was originally called - it's now called 
disable-mdk-customizations on my machine, and the standard KDE menu is used 
in preference to the mdk one.)

Not ideal, I know, but it works for me. Of course, now all the MDK RPMs 
installed don't show up in the menu...
