Well, in my K-Menu, there is a 'Find Files' listed there. In KDE 2.2.1,
Games has been broken down to separate sub-menus. I'm not sure what you mean
by 'large size menu items' if you mean fonts and icons, I think this can be
changed in the Control Center. There has been a KMenu usability study. It
should be listed under Kicker. If you need more info, please let me know,
since I'm the Kicker maintainer, I have all the text/html files of the
reports.
