Yes, I use classic mode.  I tried this with KDE 4.? (whatever was in
ports in Nov 2008).  There was no menu editor that I could see, at
least nothing that looked anything like the custom mouse button
controls from KDE 2/3.x.  And I looked *very* hard to find it,
searched mailing lists, didn't find a reference to it, but found
others with the same problem but no solution.

To be clear, I don't want to edit the K-menu (or whatever it
is called now), I want to add menus for my first and second
mouse buttons so that when I press one of those buttons over
*any* unoccupied area of the desktop (e.g., not hovering over
a shortcut/icon, control panel, or an open application window),
I get my own customized menu.
