It doesn't address the issue of putting in a little corner of the desktop 
the thing users will need to use first.

The problem isn't that the K Menu looks wrong, it's that the K Menu is in 
the last place the user willl look.

That's not to say the K Menu doesn't belong in the corner by default.  It 
does, because it's optimized for speed.  Once you know KDE, then the K 
Menu does its job of giving quick access well.  But a new user doesn't 
need quick access.  He needs a walkthrough of the system.
