customizing menus

[montagne57]

I know I may be posting this in Debian....but just in case....
Is there any simple way to customize the "big-K" menu of
the KDE Window manager the same for every user.
Something like the profile for bash customization at /etc/profile.

each user's kmenu is initially derived from /etc/skel/.kde/share/applnk

So after editing a user's kmenu using the kmenuedit tool, you could then overwrite the kmenu files from /etc/skel. Then new users will get the customized kmenu. You can change existing user's kmenus by deleting everything in /home/username/.kde/share/applnk and then replacing it with an editied master menu.

Files in a user's /home will need to be chmodded 755 and chowned to that user, as they will be owned by root if you just copy them out of /etc/skel. Conversely, replacing the files in /etc/skel with a user's edited kmenu, you should chown them to root.
