Could you please tell me where to find the main KDE menu you mentioned.

Here is what I did so far for finding it:

I opened the Kickoff Application Launcher and typed "kde" after 
"Search:". As a result I got the following list:

Arc
Dolphin
ExpoBlending'
File Manager - Super User Mode
Find Files/Folders
K3b
KAdressBook
KCalc
KCharSelect
KDE Groupware Wizzard
KDE Performance
...
and a lot of entries more.

Anyway there is no "main KDE menu" in this list. Obviously Suse keeps 
that secret. Do you have an idea where to find it?

Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
