Just wanted to note the placement of the K-Menu when invoked by the keyboard. 
The recent change:

kdebase/kicker/core kicker.cpp,1.19,1.20, Author: wgreven, Wed May  1 15:50:13 
CEST 2002

altered the algorithm to display it in the center of the screen instead of 
with the mouse pointer (an improvement, I think). However I think the 
left-hand corner would be better because:

1) More room for menus to expand without having to overlap backwards, 
especially on smaller screens
2) This is the same behaviour as actually clicking the button with the mouse
3) It's the expected behaviour (KDE 2.x; Win; every other menu that I know of 
barring context popups)

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Hamish.
