Let's try a different approach
Some time ago I remember doing a choise when the menu system got upgraded and chose Debian style menus. Now this possibly put the nice "Debian" folder on top of the "All Applications" list on the menu, with all the nice icons and shortcuts in it that I'd want to have in my Knoppix menu.
The question is, is there any way to undo the Debian style menus selection to remove the Debian folder and get all the icons to go under the Knoppix folders?
