I'm sorry, but there's one big difference between those two:

For the K Menu, we control the single action in the desktop that it 
triggers.

For the menubar, we do not control whether applications act in response to 
Alt or not. Qt-only applications, for instance (like Skype and Google 
Earth), do act. Other applications in the desktop do too. By the same 
token, other applications in the desktop do not and instead act on F10 
(Gtk-based applications, including Mozilla). Some oddballs like Opera act 
to neither.

My personal preference would be for Alt to stay and free up F10 for more 
important tasks. But that's me. Considering I've just found out I have 
used Gimp and Mozilla time and again and never noticed they did not react 
to Alt, I believe I don't use that shortcut quite that often (only in 
KMail, I think).
