Hi Irwin,

Is there are difference to KMenu->Configure Panel->add button-> ...-> add this 
menu?

Or are you suggesting to make a CDE-like look as default? (break the large 
kmenu in many smaller menus?)

>with a suggestion to implement it
Why not put apps in a folder and drag it on the panel? Is there any code 
needed to implement?

Personally I would like a CDE like desktop, but I probably not everyone would 
appreciate. Make it an option in the desktop settings wizzard (the wizzard 
wich appears, when you log in first time.)

In the second dialog it questions your prefered desktop style:

[X] KDE (TM)
[ ] Unix (R)
[ ] Windows (R)
[ ] Apple (R)

Make the selection set the panel layout: 
Unix would be like CDE: the panel centered, large with many smaller menus.
Windows: the panel small with kmenu at the left
kde, apple:...

I would participate in this efford if you like.

Greetings

Christoph Held
