OK, I'll explain.

Set the menubar to top of the screen style. Its not relevant if you
have the menubar at the top of the windows.

[Aside: Hey! I just discovered that window-based KDE menus are
draggable like Gnome menus. You live and learn.]

The menubar is placed at the top of the screen. At the extreme left
corner is an icon. For non-KDE apps, this icon is a K. KDE apps use
their own icon. Clicking on this icon drops down a menu which
duplicates the K icon on the panel. I suppose the idea was to match
the Apple or Start menus under Mac/Win OSes.

No. I'm glad to hear this has been added.

I take it then you don't commonly use the menubar in top of screen
mode? :-)

Nice to see even somebody of the calibre of Kurt can miss a feature in
KDE. I don't feel so silly for having missed the draggable menus now.
