Sorry, but I have been using KDE as my primary desktop for years and I still 
get confused.  I *eventually* look into More only because after years of 
abuse my mind associate being pissed off at the menu with having to look into 
all the More menus until I find what I want.  I even remember on one work 
system manually moving every shortcut in More out of More.

If that is true why do we have 10+ items in a menu and then *only* 4 in More?  
It gets really bad once you install other apps on your system (or heck just 
gnome) and soon your menu is 40+ all sorted alphabetically with a little More 
menu filled with 4 items.  It is stupid.
