kmenu appear empty because XDG variable environments. Set it correctly then 
run kbuildsycoca (while kde session running).

I was made a quick and dirty hack to get working kdm (prepend follow commands 
to /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/Xsession):

source /etc/profile
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/usr/kde/3.5/etc/xdg:$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/kde/3.5/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/kde/3.5/lib"
export PATH="/usr/kde/3.5/bin:$PATH"

/usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde
exit 0


I think this must be fixed in upstream, sometime.
