Yes, I meant installed apps.  

It's a bit better now, except I'm still not sure how I feel about the separate 
apps menu.  I still think that the logout/restart/shutdown menu should just 
be properly placed in the main menu instead within *Session (which is 
ambiguous) for accessibility and usability reasons.

I think it might be nice to make a mock-up. I'll post it on the Kde-artists 
forum and then send an email to the list (hopefully tomorrow).
