I managed to get all the menu entries from ui_standars.rc by setting its 
revision higher than koffice_shell.rc revision. (Help menu is still there 
though)
From a clean KDEHOME I get the the menus ok when I start first time and as long 
as I don't configure the menu.
However, if I configure the toolbar, the menu/toolbar configuration is saved to 
my local KDEHOME, which then will be used the next time I start the app.
The problem is afaics: it will save the configuration from either 
koffice_shell.rc or ui_standars.rc picking the one with highest revision, into 
my local koffice_shell.rc.

This looks a lot like broken design to me. Let's hope ui_standars.rc revision 
doesn not overtake our koffice_shell.rc.
