I'd like to add these requirements:

- posibility to reset an entry to its system default value

- make an entry readonly; what I hate most in Win is that there is no way to
  protect the system from being destroyed by dumb users

- don't change the global settings from within kpanel as root; maybe this is a
  task for a rewritten kmenuedit

wish:

- different system default menus for different users; this does not need many
  changes to kpanel; just some way to tell kpanel where to look for the default 
  menu
 
Regards,

Chris
