No, configurable doesn't solve anything. I think it should work in a way that 
is non-intrusive, there are a few things you might do after KDE has started 
and I think most of them involve kicker, so if the menu goes away when you 
click somewhere on kicker (as if it this menu wasn't there), it shouldn't be 
too annoying.

I'm sure it will upset some people, that's just because people don't like 
change.

Cheers,
Waldo
