That would certainly fulfill my needs. It poses another interesting question 
though: which would show on kicker by default?

Let's say I have the custom menu on kicker, and not the system menu. I want to 
add a new item, so I go into "menu > multimedia > add to menu" (such an item 
at the bottom of each menu seems sensible, and more obvious than 
right-clicking on the menu icon on kicker). I then get presented with the 
system menu, with the ability to choose the item I want to add, and/or edit 
the system menu while I'm there.

With this set-up, it makes sense to show the custom menu on kicker, with the 
system menu as an optional button. The default custom menu will then include 
all of the usual entries we get in kmenu, only better organised (as is 
happening in cvs) so the user starts with the full menu, and can then 
streamline it as he/she wishes.

Tom
