modifying kde's right click menu

[John]

Ok but if KDE automatically constructs it there would be little point in hard 
coding the options, even the use of embedded viewers, especially if the sort 
of flexibility implied by the freedesktop org is required - so where is the 
options file? Maybe it's loaded at run or app launch time. Must admit that I 
was surprised to find that a run kate in su mode generated 2 files but then 
I've spent too much time working in asm and worrying about uSecs.
Regards
John
