this can, of course, already be done from Kicker Settings -> Look & Feel.
check "Enable Background Tiles" and only enable the tile for the KMenu and 
voila the K Menu icon has a bevelled tile (or whatever tile you want, 
really). i guess it is just a matter of wether this should be made the 
default or not.

i think it might be a decent idea to have it on by default for the K menu... 
it would make it both stand out from the rest of the panel as well as make it 
look, as you point out, "clickable"
