For each application, you need to create an "*.desktop" file in: 
$KDEDIR/share/applications.

Note that these must have:

	Categories=<semicolon;separated;list>;

If not, it won't show up. And it must have a category that is in the 
existing menu structure or your new item will show up in: "Lost & Found".

If you need to add additional menu categories, you can do that by adding 
a file to:

	/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged

or

	$KDEDIR/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged

and a "*.directory" file to:

	$KDEDIR/usr/share/desktop-directories

If you need to do this, ask for help if you need it.
