I just replied to someone on kde-linux asking a similar question:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-linux&m=104389166225254&w=2

Here is what I wrote:

I didn't know this myself, so I did a little investigation in the KDE
sources.

I think you can modify the "Create new" contents by adding/removing
.desktop files from the templates directory in the KDE global share
directory.
For example, on my Debian box KDE is installed in /usr, the share
directory being /usr/share
It think modifiying the contents of /usr/share/templates would also modify
my desktop menu, maybe needing a KDE restart.

If this works, please let me know :)

I am not sure if you can modify the menu itself.

Cheers,
Kevin
