I thing 30 is still to much, but why not doing this by reducing the number of 
entries in the normal menu?
ideas:
- what's so special on "Graphics", that it's not part of "Multimedia" (Except 
it's an own KDE package)?
- "System", "Settings" and "Utilities" could be reduced to 2 entries
- "Toys", "Games"? One for me
- "Unknown", "PIM" or "Applications" are.. uhm.. manually created?
- I don't see my very special friend there: "Editors" - do we have so much 
(Text)editors, that they need their own menu? They are Utilities.
...so we could go down from 14 to 8 folders!
