Instead of having this 'level' you would prolly also want to be able to 
specify the "base-path" directly...

Something like:
kmenueditor --kdedir=/usr/local/kde --add Konsole.desktop MyUtils/Shell/

Since a installation script will have installed Konsole.desktop somewhere
in /usr/local/kde/share/.... its much easier for this script to specify
to kmenueditor "/usr/local/kde" than it is to find out which "level" this
is supposed to be.

Could one of the RPM guru's coment on this? (Preston? >:)
