I presume to KickOff.  I had problems with early versions.  Not sure 
what the problem was, but it appeared that the menu wouldn't update.  I 
tried using KAppFinder to add some X utilities and it simply didn't 
work.  I found that I had to add /usr/share to the XDG_DATA_DIRS path -- 
thought that it was the default.  And now they are there without adding 
them.  But, I can't add them to the Panel.  Also, although they work 
fine in KickOff, they do not work in Lancelot Launcher.  So, there are 
problems.

This menu can be hard to find in some circumstances.  Specifically, you 
have to click on a blank part of Task Manager which doesn't always 
exist.  I have had this problem.  It would be nice if all of these KCMs 
were accessible in System Settings.
