the current kmenu is just a regular popup menu. the inheritence chain is: 
QPopupMenu -> KPopupMenu -> PanelServiceMenu -> KMenu. so the kmenu itself 
doesn't do any drawing. that's all handled in QPopupMenu. if you want to do 
something like the XP menu you'll need to make your own custom QWidget 
subclass.

correct

the third parameter to insertItem is 'm', which is in this case a pointer to 
the parent menu
