AFAIK all the styles draw a regular (Q)header as popup menu title, even
the ancient ones like CDE or KDE classic. I think it's "safe" to remove
the line. Besides, it seems more logical to me to patch the styles
instead of KDE if we want just _certain_ styles to look OK.

I didn't think about that! It's unnatural to me to use the keyboard in
the KMenu... well, in any menu. I tried, and you're right, that's strange.

No, they don't do anything (anymore), they don't react to the mouse nor
to the keyboard. That's exactly how the menu headers should be in the
KMenu and that's what I meant when I said there was no reason why they
should be deactivated. I was talking from a visual PoV. So here comes
the question: Does Kicker actually need special headers when the
KPopupTitles already exist, have the same role and behave as expected?
To replace the PopupMenuTitles with (regular) KPopupTitles is the way to
go, IMHO. I will try that.

The same to you.
And you don't say anything about my 4 other patches, does it mean
they're not worth mentioning or that they are already applied? ;-)
See ya,
