Err... I had to think a bit on just what "a la carte" had to do with the K
menu.  One would presume that if we, KDE geeks, have to think about it, that
new users will be mystified UNTIL they actually see what it is.  If that is
the case, then the label was useless.

I vote for "K System Menu" or just "System Menu" but wouldn't object to "KDE
Start Menu"
