[kde-promo] kde.org fixes and adjustments

[Justin Kirby]

So it sounds like there is a lot of agreement to change the KDE.org menu to
just show the subcategories of only the menu item that the user is currently
mousing over or clicking on.  Is there someone willing to take
responsibility for making this change?  Just wanted to make sure this didn't
fall through the cracks.

Thanks,
Justin
