Hum...
Another idea : the first time you start Windows xp, the Start Menu is
displayed. Quite intrusive but for just the first time it isn't too
ennoying.

The only problem with those solutions is that users could ignore what
button have been pressed to open the KMenu.
But : users are (generally) used to Windows StartMenu : so it is a
problem ? There will rapidly recognize it (I suppose...), isn't it ?
