I haven't seen the original thread so i can only assume what the exact 
topic was and the answer may be not exactly, but about windows start 
menu entries the following should be said:
The kdewin-installer has support to create windows start menu entry from 
desktop files. The currently implementation is based on the complete kde 
installation (kdewin-menubuilder) and there are plans to change this to 
a package related way. This means that start menu entries will be 
added/removed when a related package is installed/uninstalled.
