Yepp, that could be done

Hmm, I fear there will be some conditions where that doesn't work.
Maybe we could rework the code for 3.2 but fpr now we need a
quick-to-implement and stable version.
(Cornelius, what's about my suggestion?)

Yepp, but that has to be done in KSelectAction. We use this class and
give it a stringlist of the items. KSelectAction display it either in the
MenuBar or in the ToolBar. So this class has to do the parsing.
(Will ask on kde-core-devel for it)

Well, I'm working on it. It seems there is a bug in KSelectAction... :(
