This is simultaneously a user and a usability question. On KDE 3.3, when a
submenu on the KDE menu has only one item, the submenu is transformed into
a single item and the name of the menu item is changed. For instance, I
have the submenu:
        (KDE Menu) -> Multimedia -> CD/DVD Burning
with only one item inside: K3b
Instead of the submenu and its single item being shown, the "CD/DVD Burning"
submenu is transformed into a link to K3b.

This is awkward. It prevents the user from knowing the name of the program
he is choosing. Instead, he only sees a generic name.
How can I change this behavior?

Mark
