		Hiya.

We're having the problem of placing a sub-menu which already exists in
the general menu structure on the kicker (the panel).

As
1.) we don't get access to all the machines where we want to do that
2.) we want it to be on the kicker even for "new users" (those which
haven't used a KDE-session before)

dragging it from the menu to the kicker is no option.

The sub-menu has been added by us using the fiollowing xdg-desktop-menu
calls:

########################################################################
xdg-desktop-menu install --mode system \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-AG500.directory \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-AG500Help.desktop

xdg-desktop-menu install --mode system \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-AG500.directory \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-cs5cal.desktop

xdg-desktop-menu install --mode system \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-AG500.directory \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-cs5recorder.desktop

xdg-desktop-menu install --mode system \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-AG500.directory \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-cs5view.desktop

xdg-desktop-menu install --mode system \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-AG500.directory \
/usr/share/doc/cs-enginesoftware-%{version}/bclinux-cs5calcpos.desktop
########################################################################

Does anybody know how we can achieve that (the presence of the submenu
on the kicker as an icon) in a similar fashion like the addition of the
sub-menu via xdg-desktop-menu?
