You will probably get a good reply long before you read this (tomorrow |

KDE and Gnome use the freedesktop menu structure, it is documented at |
| 9 |
http://www.freedesktop.org in the Standards section. IIRC the document |
| 10 |
is called xdg-something... |
| 11 |
|

Anyways, the menus are not a simple structure, they consist of |
| 13 |
system-wide and user-specific XML menu files with .desktop files are |
| 14 |
the individual elements in the menu. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The system wide stuff is usually in /etc/xdg or /usr/kde/3.5/etc/xdg/ |
| 17 |
The user-specific stuff is usually in ~/kde or other places... |
